New York: Challenger Productions 1965. Ribbon copy typescript of a Preliminary Treatment script for an unproduced film.

Only one was completed Welles' 1968 "The Immortal Story" starring Jeanne Moreau based on the short story of the same name from the 1958 collection "Anecdotes of Destiny." In the early 1980s Welles attempted to film "The Dreamers" based on the short story of the same name from "Seven Gothic Tales" and "Echoes" from the 1957 collection "Last Tales" but only completed a few scenes and abandoned the project after a lack of financing.<br/><br/>In 1982 Italian director Emidio Greco directed "Ehrengard" based upon Dinesen's novel of the same name but was not released until 2002 due to financial complications.<br/><br/>Set in Europe. <br/><br/>Blue untitled wrappers.

Brian De Palma director screenwriter; Louisa Rose screenwriter; Margot Kidder Jennifer Salt William Finley starring
Sisters Original screenplay for the 1973 film
New York: Pressman Williams 1970. Draft script for the 1973 film. Copy belonging to cinematographer Gregory Sandor with his name in holograph pencil on the verso of the title page and holograph pencil annotations throughout.<br/><br/>Danielle is a beautiful model separated from her conjoined twin Dominique. When her neighbor an aspiring journalist suspects Danielle of a brutal murder the horror of Danielle's disturbing past begins to surface. Director Brian De Palma based his original story on a Life magazine article about conjoined twins in the Soviet Republic who had been successfully separated but were experiencing psychological problems as a result of the operation. <br/><br/>With its use of visually dense point-of-view and split-screen camera techniques "Sisters" is one of De Palma's earliest forays into erotic voyeurism as a conduit for psychological horror paving the way for a string of idiosyncratic psychosexual projects in the ensuing years such as "Obsession" 1976 "Dressed to Kill" 1980 "Blow Out" 1981 and "Body Double" 1984 among others. Given its focus on the anxiety of the gaze "Sisters" can also be read as an homage to Alfred Hitchcock-openly referencing "Rope" 1948 "Rear Window" 1954 and "Psycho" 1960-and indeed the film was even scored by Bernard Hermann a frequent musical collaborator for Hitchcock's films.<br/><br/>Set and shot on location in New York. <br/><br/>Maroon titled wrappers.

Final Shooting Script for the 1954 film with blue yellow and green revisions throughout. <br/><br/>Based on the 1870 novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" by Jules Verne. Walt Disney's "20000 Leagues Under the Sea" was one of the most expensive and ambitious productions of its time. A 200 foot submarine a 225 pound diving suit a specially built soundstage with a 90 x 165 foot tank and a giant squid which weighed two tons and required a crew of 28 to operate were just some of the monumental challenges of the production.

Westward Ho the Wagons! Children of the Covered Wagon Original screenplay for the 1956 film Walt Disney's annotated copy
Burbank CA: Walt Disney Productions 1955. Draft script for the 1956 film here under the working title "Children of the Covered Wagon." Walt Disney's working copy with "Walt Disney" in holograph ink on upper left margin of Walt Disney Productions label on the front wrapper not in Disney's hand and annotations in red blue and graphite holograph pencil throughout all clearly in Disney's hand. The most substantive of the annotations denote sequence order and use of stock footage.<br/><br/>Our first reaction was to doubt such close involvement by Disney on a 1950s feature but it turns out that this film was special: it was Disney's first Western and only its second live-action CinemaScope feature following on the heels of the wildly successful "20000 Leagues Under the Sea" the year before. Too Disney's first animated CinemaScope feature "Lady and the Tramp" was released just prior to this film in the summer of 1955. All three were major debuts for Disney and Walt Disney's involvement was naturally more hands-on than usual.<br/><br/>Based on the 1934 novel "Children of the Covered Wagon" by Mary Jane Carr about a group of pioneers in a wagon train traveling across the West. Staring Disney stalwart Fess Parker of "Davey Crockett" fame as John "Doc" Grayson and featuring four Mouseketeers from the "Mickey Mouse Club" television series: Tommy Cole Doreen Tracey Cubby O'Brian and Karen Pendleton.<br/><br/>A one-hour Disneyland telecast on November 14 1956 entitled "Along the Oregon Trail" included a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of "Westward Ho the Wagons!" and on the day of the film's opening the first segment of a four-part series about Native Americans entitled "The First Americans" began on the Disneyland series.<br/><br/>Set in the American West shot on location at the Conejo Ranch near Thousand Oaks in California. <br/><br/>Red titled wrappers with affixed Walt Disney Productions label as called for with Disney scripts from this era with credits for screenwriter Tom Blackburn and production number 2093. 157 leaves with last page of text numbered 153.
