HUBBARD, Lucien (1888-1971) (producer, director & screenwriter); Jacqueline GADSDEN (aka Jane DALY) (1900-1986) (actor)
Original Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer screenplay for the Technicolor film ""The Mysterious Island"" 1929 dated July 24 1928 and credited to Lucien Hubbard; personal copy of leading actress Jacqueline Gadsden Jane Daly.
Culver City Calif. : Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM July 24 1928. Original yellow wrappers preserved with some marginal loss on later card covers 303 x 230 mm front wrapper with typed title at centre '""The Mysterious Island"" / Screen Play / by / Lucien Hubbard'; at top right is typed 'Prod. No. 273' and at lower right 'Script Okayed by Mr. Thalberg. July 24 1928'; above the title is the original MGM studio label rubber-stamped 'No. 4664' with the typed film title and same date of July 24 1928; the pencilled name 'Jane Daly' i.e. Jacqueline Gadsden above the label appears to be written in the film star's own hand while her name is also written in pencil but in a different hand near the foot of the front wrapper; 121 leaves 280 x 215 mm mimeograph duplication; the film's title crediting Hubbard as the screenwriter and dated July 24 1928 is integral with the first page of the script; contents very clean throughout corners a little dog-eared with the two original brads in place. Rare and important draft shooting script for the Hollywood film The Mysterious Island. Loosely adapted from Jules Verne's science fiction novel L’ile mystérieuse this MGM production - a part-talkie - was filmed in two-strip Technicolour and had a checkered production history: shooting had commenced in 1926 but the film was not released until 5 October 1929. Lucien Hubbard 1888-1971 was officialy credited as the writer of the screenplay and as director even though scenes shot earlier by Maurice Tourneur and Benjamin Christensen - both removed from the project by Irving Thalberg because of their painstaking approach to filmmaking - were used in the final version. Lucien Hubbard is today perhaps best-known as the producer of the silent film Wings 1927 for which he won an Academy Award. Until recently a single ten-minute reel with a colour sequence in the UCLA Film and Television Archive was thought to be the only portion of The Mysterious Island that had survived in Technicolour although complete black-and-white prints had always been known. Then in 2013 experts from George Eastman House discovered that a colour print had been preserved in the Czech National Film Archive; the restored colour print of the film was screened at the 33rd Pordenone Silent Film Festival in October 2014. The cast of The Mysterious Island included Lionel Barrymore Count Andre Dakkar Jane Daly Jacqueline Gadsden Sonia Lloyd Hughes Nikolai Montagu Love Falon Harry Gribbon Mikhail Snitz Edwards Anton Gibson Gowland Dmitry Dolores Brinkman Teresa and Major Roup an underwater creature. Art direction was by Cedric Gibbons with technical effects by James Basevi Louis H. Tolhurst and Irving R. Ries. Jacqueline Gadsden 1900-1986 was an American film actress during the silent era. Her most famous role was in It 1927 in which she starred alongsde Clara Bow. In 1924 she had married William Harry Daly and in fact she made two other films in the same year that The Mysterious Island was released 1929 - one for Columbia and another for MGM - in which she was billed under the name Jane Daly. The Mysterious Island was her last film prior to retirement from motion pictures.  unknown

Doctor Zhivago Original photograph of cast and crew members on the set of the 1965 film

Printed mimeo snipe affixed to the verso along with the stamp of photographer Federico Grau. <br /> <br /> Based on Boris Pasternak's controversial Nobel Prize-winning 1957 novel following a married physician whose life is irreversibly changed by the Russian Revolution and resulting Civil War. Nominated for ten Academy Awards winning five including Best Screenplay and Best Cinematography. <br /> <br /> Pasternak's novel was widely banned in the Soviet Union due to its perceived criticism of the Soviet government forcing director David Lean to begin filming on location in Spain-chosen in large part as a result of his positive experiences filming "Lawrence of Arabia" there several years prior as well as the promise of snow. The film was shot over ten months in Soria and Aragon and at the Aldeadavila Dam with a large-scale Moscow set built outside of Madrid as documented throughout the archive. An unseasonably warm winter in Spain obligated production to head to Finland and Canada in the final months of shooting in order to obtain a sufficiently wintry backdrop for landscape scenes. <br /> <br /> Shot on location throughout Spain Finland and Canada. <br /> <br /> 10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus lightly worn at the corners. N.p. unknown
