The Hunt for Red October Four original sets of storyboards for the 1990 film
Hollywood: Paramount Pictures 1989. Four sets of original storyboards for the 1990 film approximately 800 pages total. One set bound in script format with red wrappers noted in holograph ink annotation to the front wrappers as "Vol. I." the other set without wrappers.<br/><br/>Based on the popular 1984 novel. When the US government spots a massive high-tech Soviet submarine dead-set towards the Maine coastline officials must decide without any knowledge of its intentions whether they will allow the sub to reach American land or preemptively attack. Further complicating the situation is the uncooperative Russian government determined to overtake its rogue submarine but unwilling to reveal its true purpose. <br/><br/>Although the film rights to the novel were optioned before the book was published the complex plot and the prospectively huge cost of production led many studios to turn the project down. Nonetheless the film proved wildly successful and grossed over half its budget on the opening weekend alone paving the way for a number of Hollywood post-Cold War thrillers. Nominated for three Academy Awards.<br/><br/>Vol. 1:<br/><br/>Red titled wrappers. Approximately 350 leaves. Xerographic duplication rectos only. Pages Near Fine wrappers Near Fine bound internally with a silver prong.<br/><br/>Vol. 2:<br/><br/>Red titled wrappers. Approximately 350 leaves. Xerographic duplication rectos only.

Hollywood: Paramount Pictures 1963. Revised Final White script for the 1963 film. Copy belonging to a crew member presumed with annotations in holograph ink and pencil on both sides of the first page. <br/><br/>Based on a screenplay by Jacqueline "Jay" Presson Allen a romantic comedy about unsuccessful writer Bill Austin Johnson who lives in New York with his wife Bertie Leigh. Their lives change dramatically when Bill's first novel becomes a bestseller and he persuades Bertie to quit her job and move to the suburbs. Bill begins working long hours on Broadway adapting his novel for the theater and he spends more and more time with his attractive agent Lucinda Ford Hyer. Bertie is suspicious and begins courting actor Gar Aldrich Jeremy Slate. <br/> <br/>Set in New York shot on location in California. Edith Head was nominated for an Oscar for her costume designs. <br/><br/>Playwright and screenwriter Jay Allen was living in New York when she wrote the screenplay performing on radio and in cabaret both of which she loathed so much that she tried to get fired from nearly every production.

Allen in 1955 they moved to the countryside where Allen had a baby and spent two and a half "absolutely wonderful years in the country."<br/><br/>Eventually the couple came back to the city to work. Allen drew on her married life and wrote "The First Wife" a witty script about a suburban working couple. When Allen read Muriel Spark's "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" she instantly saw the books potential for stage adaptation. After undergoing hypnotherapy to alleviate another bout of writer's block Allen produced a draft of the play in three days. <br/><br/>Allen's notable film credits as screenwriter include "Marnie" 1964 "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" 1969 "Cabaret" 1972 "A Star Is Born" 1976 "Deathtrap" and "The Verdict" both 1982 and "Lord of the Flies" 1990. <br/><br/>Self wrappers noted as REVISED FINAL WHITE SCRIPT on the front wrapper rubber-stamped copy No. 107 and production No. 10228 dated February 1 1963 with a credit for screenwriter Anhalt.
