THE BOYS IN THE BAND : COPY OF CLASSIC 1970 FILM SCRIPT + FUN BONUS ELEMENTS

Description

HERE'S A REAL SCARCE TREASURE FOR THE SERIOUS CINEMA BUFF. IT'S
A CLEAN, HANDSOMELY PRODUCED COPY OF THE MOVIE SCRIPT FROM
" THE BOYS IN THE BAND " THAT HAS SOME NICE BONUS ELEMENTS THAT
MAKE IT A REAL SIGNIFICANT SHOWPIECE. THIS COPY WAS MADE DIRECTLY
FROM AN ORIGINAL PERSONAL SCREENPLAY THAT AUTHOR MART CROWLEY
HAD SENT TO A FRIEND IN 1985. IT HAS A REPRODUCTION OF THE LENGTHY
INSCRIPTION THAT CROWLEY HANDWROTE ON THE TITLE PAGE THAT GIVES
SOME ILLUMINATING FACTS ABOUT THE PRODUCTION INCLUDING THE
REVELATION THAT ONE OF HIS FAVORITE LINES CUT OUT OF THE MOVIE.
THAT LOST BIT OF DIALOGUE IS INCLUDED IN THE SCRIPT AND CROWLEY
ACTUALLY DRAWS AN ARROW TO IT ON THE PAGE WHERE IT APPEARS.
THE FILM WAS A VERY INTENSE WORK THAT EXPERTLY BLENDED DRAMA
AND COMEDY AND THE DIALOGUE IS SOME OF THE MOST
RELENTLESSLY
SIZZLING
IN SCREEN HISTORY. IT'S A PARTICULARLY HEFTY SCRIPT,  TOO,
CONTAINING A WHOPPING 150 PAGES. THE OFTEN SARDONIC HUMOR
THROUGHOUT HAS REMAINED FRESH EVEN THOUGH THE FILM'S DEBUT
WAS IN 1970. JUST TO DRESS THIS PACKAGE UP AND MAKE IT AN IDEAL
GIFT ITEM, I ADDED A PROTECTIVE CLEAR COVER SHEET AND INCLUDED
A PAGE WITH SOME OF THE FILM'S CLEVER PROMOTIONAL ADS.
THIS ITEM IS A REAL GEM AND, AS CROWLEY HIMSELF STATES IN HIS PERSONAL
MESSAGE INSIDE: "THE SAMUEL FRENCH EDITION OF THE PLAY'S  DIALOGUE
IS AVAILABLE FOR A COUPLE OF BUCKS, BUT THE FILM SCREENPLAY HASN'T
BEEN PRINTED ANYWHERE".
A UNIQUE GIFT IDEA.
