Original Pressbook for the 1977 film. One of the great unsung literary adaptations of the 1970s, taking a terrifically complex novel about a young woman who has completely retreated into fantasy following the death of her sister. A film that suffered inevitable comparisons to "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," but actually far more internal and horrific, an actor's film brought to life by Bibi Andersson and a young Kathleen Quinlan. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Screenplay. 8 pages with one fold-out, saddle stapled, 11 x 17 inches. Near Fine.

Draft script for the 1958 film. Copy belonging to actor Dick Miller, with his name in manuscript pencil on the front wrapper, and his manuscript pencil annotations throughout. Miller was director Roger Corman's initial pick for the title role, but disagreements between Corman and screenwriter R.
