[Np: London Film Productions for Selznick Releasing Organization], 19 July 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. A "second draft" of this original screenplay by Greene, with uncredited contributions by Orson Welles (who it is said wrote his own dialogue) and Carol Reed, the director. 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…

E.C.U." (FORMERLY "THE INVESTIGATOR") A SCREENPLAY BY...
by Crichton, Michael [screenwriter]
- Used
[ Np], 1972. [2],124 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript, printed on rectos only of a variety of colored papers. Bradbound in stenciled wrappers, with title revision in manuscript, and title lettered on spine. A "Second revised draft" of this very early original screenplay by Crichton, incorporating many leaves of revises spanning the period noted above. The film was released in 1973 as EXTREME CLOSE UP, under the direction of Jeannot Szwarc, but garnered little notice, even under the alternate rerelease title, SEX THROUGH A WINDOW. This film was released in the same year as WESTWORLD, the other film with a claim to being the first based on a Crichton script; precedence is unknown to this cataloguer. A little known undertaking from early in Crichton's Hollywood career, and a much less common script than that for its better known contemporary.

Los Angeles, Various dates but chiefly 1962 - 1963.. Two carbon typescripts, plus file of correspondence. Generally good to very good. A small but interesting file of material relating to this unproduced film project, a fictionalized treatment of UN Peace Keeping Forces drawing on their involvement in the Congo. The lot includes two variant drafts of a treatment, 99 leaves and 86 leaves, the latter in specially printed production binder, with several rather frayed revised inserts laid in, with scattered manuscript corrections and deletions. Also present is a file of a dozen pieces of correspondence relating largely to research, but as well to trying to place the project. The most significant item among the latter is a long, single-spaced typed letter to Nugent from Frank Capra, rather messily typed, with corrections, signed "Warmest regards, Frank," responding in enthusiastic detail after his reading of the treatment, but declining to get involved due to commitment to another project. He writes, in…
