Greene Graham screenwriter
THE THIRD MAN . SECOND DRAFT SCRIPT wrapper title
Np: London Film Productions for Selznick Releasing Organization 1948. 118 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only. Bradbound in typescript blue wrappers with small script number stamp. Slight sunning at edges of wrappers else about fine.

The English production premiered in the UK on 31 August 1949 and opened in the U.S. in February 1950 with distribution through Selznick Releasing Organization. This script is one of a small number of preproduction scripts prepared for use by the latter group. The cast included Joseph Cotton Orson Welles Trevor Howard and Allida Valli and the film was appreciated in its own time via a number of nominations and awards and appreciated even more considerably by posterity. Greene published an adaptation of the original treatment in 1950 and in 1968 a form of the final script with production revisions was published. One of a relatively small number of duplicate copies from the Selznick Archive. WOBBE D11. London Film Productions for Selznick Releasing Organization] unknown books

James Henry source work: Stevenson Robert screenwriter
THE WINGS OF THE DOVE" SCREENPLAY BY .
Culver City: Selznick Studios 1949. 4123 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only. Bradbound in stencil-printed wrappers. Upper wrapper snagged at top brad otherwise very near fine. A "First Rough" draft of this unproduced film adaptation of James's 1902 novel. Selznick brought writer/director Robert Edward Stevenson 1905-1986 to the U.S. from England in the 1930s and Stevenson's early successes often made while on loan to other studios than Selznick's included KING SOLOMON'S MINES JANE EYRE TOM BROWN'S SCHOOL DAYS etc. This script represents what would have likely been one of his last projects associated with Selznick as it coincides with his departure for RKO. His increasing prominence as a director resulted in a long string of successes for Disney. If this project had reached fruition it would have been among the earliest adaptations of James to the large screen -- ten years later it was adapted for television by other hands.

A studio rerun of an unspecified draft of this early unproduced adaptation to the screen of Hichens' 1933 novel reproduced as a prelude to the process which culminated in the 1947 Selznick production directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

So the project was shelved until a decade later. Vanguard Films, Inc. unknown books

Cole Lester screenwriter
Archive of Typescripts for: JACKHAMMER released as TOO TOUGH TO KILL
Los Angeles: The Author 1935. Six volumes. Quarto. Chiefly carbon typescript but also original typescript the latter with extensive manuscript revisions and notations. Each unit bradbound or stapled into typescript wrappers. Some use wrappers a bit frayed at edges and chipped at spines last wrapper separated at spine but typescripts in generally very good order consistent with use. A fine contiguous sequence of scripts tracing the development of this film from its earliest stages through the final working draft of Cole's screenplay and the intercession of another writer. The 1935 film directed by D. Ross Lederman was released under the title TOO TOUGH TO KILL and starred Victor Jory Sally O'Neill Ward Bond et al. The film as conceived by Cole is a depiction of an investigation into labor strife at a tunnel and aqueduct construction site near Morongo California. The film as finally released was co-credited to Cole and Jay Griffin based on a story by Robert Speers. However with the exception of the last item the material in this archive is credited throughout solely to Lester Cole and includes the following: a Treatment 122 leaves carbon typescript; b First Draft Screenplay 22 July 191 leaves carbon typescript with scattered revisions and annotations in pencil; c Second Draft Screenplay 30 July 110 leaves carbon typescript with scattered pencil queries comments and alterations; d Third Draft Screenplay 2 August 1104 leaves carbon typescript; e Fourth Draft Screenplay 5 August 1104 leaves carbon typescript; and f Fourth Draft Screenplay altered in manuscript to read "Final Working Copy" 5 August ca. 104 leaves plus lettered inserts and other variations largely original typescript but some carbon very heavily revised throughout in pencil in at least two hands. The first four items are designated in manuscript with the name of Ben Pivar the production supervisor of record for the film. The last bears the ownership signature of J. Griffin Jay and would obviously appear to be the copy of Cole's draft Jay utilized for the start if not the bulk of the revisions and rewrites that earned him co-credit. Cole was one of the cofounders of the Screen Writers Guild and in 1934 joined the CPA. Like his other colleagues known as the "Hollywood Ten" Cole refused to cooperate with the HUAC in 1947 was sentenced to a year in prison and a fine and was placed on the Blacklist. He continued to work sporadically under pennames and his last major film BORN FREE was so credited. Jay had his own substantial list of screenwriting credits chiefly in the genres of adventure science fiction and horror films. A fine coherent and contiguous archive the sort seldom preserved intact over the passage of more than 75 years. The Author] unknown books

Nugent Frank screenwriter
THE BOILERMAKERS.
Los Angeles: The Author 1964. Two volumes. 3380 leaves plus lettered inserts; 688 leaves. Quarto. Mechanically reproduced typescript printed on rectos only. Bradbound in mimeographed wrappers one is missing the top wrapper. Light soiling and use but very good. Two consecutive drafts of this original teleplay written by Nugent for creator- producer Merian C. Cooper. Though both are denoted "uncut revised" drafts the first is shot through with revises on colored papers dated from mid-November to early December. The second is a fresh draft incorporating the revisions and fixing pagination disruptions caused by lettered inserts in the first. The second bears the name in an unknown hand of Jean Nugent Frank Nugent's wife. Accompanied by another copy in photocopy of the second draft. Nugent and Cooper had worked together frequently particularly in harness with John Ford but this proposed project for television would appear not to have come to fruition. Set at Fort Teton on the western frontier it highlights the service of those soldiers in the Cavalry Band in the context of a potential clash between ranchers and resident tribes during a drought. "The Boilermakers" as the Cavalry Band was derisively labeled are generally portrayed as a lot of misfits and as a preliminary note on format indicates the series would be "uniquely told through the eyes of the continuing characters of a rag-tag singing- fighting Cavalry band with their varied racial backgrounds instruments and music . stories to be in the vein of the Merian C. Cooper - John Ford features 'She Wore a Yellow Ribbon' - 'Fort Apache' - 'Rio Grande' etc." Whether Ford was intended to sign on to direct this series is not indicated in the present material but it would not be beyond the realm of possibility.
