Collection of 3 vintage studio still photographs from the 1968 film. From the library of Christopher C. Geest, with his stamp on the verso of each photograph. Based on John Haase's 1966 novel, "Me and the Arch Kook Petulia," about newlywed San Francisco socialite Petulia Danner (Christie), who is determined to have an affair with physician Dr. Archie Bollen (Scott). Petulia's pursuit of Archie is relentless, even as he dates another woman, and culminates in a curious twist. The film makes use of various time jumps, but even with an uneven plot still remains an overlooked gem of 1960s New Hollywood. The Grateful Dead and Big Brother and the Holding Company lend tunes for the soundtrack. 8 x 10 inches. Fine.

Final Script for the 1969 film. Originally set to be made by maverick director Joseph Strick, who actually did some location shooting in Tunisia. However, Strick ran into disagreements with Fox executives, and was replaced with George Cukor, who shot the remainder of the film in Hollywood. Set in Alexandria in 1938, a young British schoolmaster named Darley meets Pursewarden, a British consular officer. Pursewarden introduces him to Justine, the wife of an Egyptian banker. Darley befriends her, and discovers she is involved in a plot against the British, the goal of which is to arm the Jewish underground movement in Palestine. Partially shot on location at Ennejma Ezzahra, a palace at Sidi Bou Said, in Northern Tunisia. Blue titled wrappers, noted as Final on the front wrapper and production No. 842, dated July 2, 1968.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. [Los Angeles]: Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 1968. 145 pp. and 140 pp. Two scripts bound with brass brads in blue covers, Revised Screenplay dated June 12, 1967 with Moffat credited as writer, and Final dated July 2, 1968 with Marcus credited as writer. Uneven sunning to covers of both scripts, with nicking and bumping to extremities of both. Titles written in felt tip pen on spine of both scripts. Text of Revised copy printed on pale green paper, with text of Final version printed on blue, pale green, and pink paper. Based on Lawrence Durrell's 1957 novel of the same name, Justine is a film best seen as a creation that is independent of the book. Initially the film was directed by Joseph Strick, but it is rumoured that he was fired for his behavior while filming on location. George Cukor was brought in to finish the film, which resulted in a film with a plot that is largely incomprehensible, yet texturally rich. . Single Sheet. Very Good.
