About This Item
London: De Grunwald Productions, 1953. Draft script for the 1953 film. Copy belonging to crew member James H. Ware with his annotations throughout in manuscript pencil and ink. Ware was a major presence in British and American cinema, best known for his work on "Beat the Devil" (1953), "Room at the Top" (1959), "Our Man in Havana" (1959), "Charade" (1963), and "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" (1965).
A group of strangers board a plane for Paris for the weekends and their lives are changed forever when they encounter the enchantment and secrets of the City of Lights. The film is a great look into British and Parisian life in the early 1950s, as well as the culture of the Russian nightclub, of which there were several in Paris. In one such club in the film, Ludmila Lopato sings the original version of the song translated as "Those were the Days," later made famous by Mary Hopkin.
Set in Paris, shot on location there.
Green titled wrappers. Title page present. 126 leaves, with last page of text numbered 125. Mimeograph duplication. Pages Very Good plus, wrapper Very Good plus bound with two staples.
