A Set of 2 Original Vintage Movie Script (measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm]; German language script has 165 pages; English language script has 154 pages) (Learn More) Noa Noa, the 1953 movie script written by James Agee & Charles O'Neal. This script was never produced (more information about this particular script, and James Agee's writings can be found at this website: http://norman.hrc.utexas.edu/fasearch/findingAid.cfm?eadid=00139). Note that this script comes from the estate of Paul Kohner. An English language version of the script was sent to Kohner along with a German translation script, likely in the hope that Kohner could find either an English language producer or a German language producer to make the movie, but alas, that never happened! Important Added Info: Note that these two screenplays (one in English and a translation of it in German) were written by James Agee & Charles O'Neal. Note that this item comes from the estate of Paul Kohner, who as an agent for hundreds of actors, writers, directors, etc., was constantly sent scripts to "pitch" to his clients or to the studios, and therefore we are 100% certain that this is an original script created at the time it was written. Kohner 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. Condition: good to very good. The German language script is in "very good" condition, with some darkening on the covers. The English language script has much staining on the front cover and the bottom of the final page, with just a few dot stains scattered along the outer edges of the other pages (see our images).
