Lifeboat Two original photographs from the 1944 film
Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox 1944. Two vintage studio still photographs from the 1944 film. Nominated for three Academy Awards. Based on John Steinbeck 1943 novella of the same name. Reference numbers are 619-53 black-and-white stamped on verso as "KEY SET" and 619-70 sepia apparently mounted for internal use. <br/><br/>The film follows a group of survivors stranded on a lifeboat following an attack on their merchant ship.

The film is the first in Hitchcock's "limited-setting" fims followed by "Rope" Dial M for Murder" and "Rear Window." Steinbeck who wrote the novella for the film was aggravated by the changes made to his work specifically to an African American character who he felt had been transformed into a grotesque caricature. <br/><br/>Shot on location in Florida and California. <br/><br/>8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus with toning to one image as well as a holograph graphite notation to the other. <br/><br/>Complete collation details available on request. Twentieth Century-Fox unknown books

Suez Original screenplay for the 1938 film
Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox 1938. Final Script for the 1938 film. <br/><br/>Loosely based on the events surrounding the construction of the Suez Canal the film stirred controversy upon its release when the descendants of main characters Matthieu and Ferdinand de Lesseps unsuccessfully sued the studio for libel. With all the elaborate costuming special effects and production costs typical of a Zanuck picture its cinematic qualities do their best to offset what can only be called a very unique take on historical accuracy. Nominated for the Academy Awards for Best Cinematography Best Original Score and Best Sound Recording. Power and Annabella were married shortly after the film's release. <br/><br/>Set in Paris and Egypt shot on location in Arizona and California. <br/><br/>Pale blue titled wrappers noted as FINAL on the front wrapper rubber-stamped copy No. 178 dated April 8 1938. Distribution page present with receipt removed. Title page present dated April 8 1938 noted as Final Script with credits for screenwriters Dunne and Josephson. 186 leaves mimeograph duplication.

Allen Woody sourcework and Charles Grodin screenwriter
PLAY IT AGAIN SAM" SCREENPLAY BY . BASED ON A PLAY BY.
Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox / APJAC Productions 1971. 1108 leaves. Quarto. Mechanically reproduced typescript printed on rectos only of pale blue-green stock. Bradbound in printed studio wrappers. Ink squiggle on upper wrapper with some darkening along top edge of same some use to wrappers with a few small chips at edges upper wrapper detached from brads internally very good. A "first draft" of Grodin's adaptation of Allen's 1969 Broadway play. The draft is undated but two inserted revises on darker blue paper are dated 15 February 1971. Eventually Allen himself undertook the screenplay for the final film and a cursory examination of the first few pages evidences considerable variation between Grodin's draft and Allen's screenplay. The film which was a Paramount production rather than 20th Century- Fox was released in May 1972 was directed by Herbert Ross and starred Allen Diane Keaton Tony Roberts Jerry Lacy Viva Joy Bang et al. Actual pre-production scripts by Allen or for films based on his sourceworks tend to be rather uncommon their circulation being largely confined to those actually involved directly in production.
