About this Item

This is a unique item. As you can see from the photo of the title page, it is the shooting script 'revised 16.8.67' for the movie 'Joanna', written and directed by Michael Sarne, produced by Michael S. Laughlin and released by Twentieth Century Fox in 1968. The film received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. The script came from the estate of Dominick Dunne, the American writer, investigative journalist, and movie producer. However, he did not write his name in the script. The film starred Geneviève Waïte, Christian Doermer, Calvin Lockhart, and the wonderful Donald Sutherland. You can see the yellow covers in the photos. They are in reasonably good shape. There is wear at the edges, mostly crinkling and small tears. On the front cover Mr. Dunne, I assume, penciled 'page 65'. There is no writing on page 65, but it does contain a very serious, philosophical conversation between Joanna and Peter. The interior of the book is in excellent condition. There are 150 pages. They are all very clean. I'm not finding any soiling. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the script. 'Dominick Dunne began his career in film and television as a producer of the pioneering gay film The Boys in the Band (1970) and as the producer of the award-winning film The Panic in Needle Park (1971). He turned to writing in the early 1970s, and after the 1982 killing of his daughter, Dominique, he began to focus on the ways in which wealth and high society interact with the judicial system. Dunne was a frequent contributor to Vanity Fair, and from the 1980s, he appeared regularly on television discussing crime. He was the father of Alexander Dunne and the actors Griffin Dunne and Dominique Dunne. Best known for her role in the film Poltergeist, she was strangled to death by her ex-boyfriend, John Sweeney, on November 4, 1982. Dominick Dunne covered Sweeney's trial for Vanity Fair, and alongside the rest of his family, was outraged when Sweeney was acquitted of second-degree murder in favor of voluntary manslaughter.'.
