Important Added Info: Note that included with this script is a 4-page synopsis that was submitted by "P.D." to Pancho Kohner, Paul Kohner's son. It gives a summary and comments about the movie, and it was submitted for Charles Bronson, Paul Kohner's client. Of course, the movie was ultimately made with Clint Eastwood, but it wasn't because P.D. did not correctly think that this would be perfect for Bronson! He wrote that he loved the script and that he thought that since one of Bronson's best roles was in "The Great Escape", this would be perfect for him, and he wrote "Frank Morris would, in my opinion, be a superb role for Charles Bronson". He added that if Bronson can't do it because of some other commitment, maybe he could "hold this one in the wings", and he recommended that they lock this one in with a nice long option. Of course, this did not happen, and that is a real shame, because Bronson's career might have been significantly revived had he taken this role! Note that this script is from 1978 and the screenplay was written by Richard Tuggle. Note that this is a script for a screenplay that was sent to agent Paul Kohner (see below), and it is 100% certainly an original script that was created at the time we indicate above, and it is NOT any sort of copy or later creation. The person who purchases this script is solely purchasing the script itself, and NOT any right to reproduce it in any way, or publish it. This script comes from the estate of Paul Kohner, who had a remarkable life! Kohner was born in Czechoslovakia in 1902, and he was a journalist working at his father's newspaper. He came to Hollywood after interviewing Carl Laemmle, who gave him a job as a publicity man. He became the head of Universal's European department in Berlin, and returned to the U.S. in the early 1930s, and left Universal in 1938, becoming a publicity agent. Among his clients were some of the greatest film stars ever, including Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, and also great directors such as John Huston and Billy Wilder. He had close personal friendships with many of his clients, and he saved every bit of correspondence and paper work from his agency! He was married to actress Lupita Tovar from 1932 until his death in 1988. Amazingly, after his death, few institutions showed interest in his immense files, and only a small amount ended up being saved, with a lot literally thrown away! Our consignor purchased the item offered here from Mr. Kohner's estate in 1989, and he has held it until now, when he has consigned several items from Mr. Kohner's estate to eMoviePoster.com, and each item is being auctioned separately.
