A Movie Script Copy (measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm]) (Learn More) The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T, the classic 1953 Roy Rowland children's musical dark fantasy ("The First Wonderama"; "In color by Technicolor"; "The wonder musical of the future!"; "Plus a Hit Parade of Songs"; ; "Songs you'll never stop singing!"; "T for tremendous! T for terrifying! T for terpsichore! T for tickles! T for tootlers! T for tunes! T for terrific!"; T for entertainmenT [spelled backwards]; "Screen Play by Dr. Seuss and Allan Scott"; about a boy forced to take piano lessons from a strange teacher, and he dreams of a bizarre world where the teacher tortures his students; the movie is very dark, but it was originally even darker in that it had an elevator scene where an executioner-like masked man takes people down floor by floor to a dungeon, and he calls off the torture devices on each floor, and that sequence was shortened!) starring Peter Lind Hayes, Mary Healy, Hans Conried (in the title role as Dr. Terwilliker), Tommy Rettig, and George Chakiris. Note that this movie soured Dr. Seuss on Hollywood and merchandising for many years until his death. The studio created a really cool special supplement to the pressbook (the supplement is quite rare!), which contains a massive section of tie-in promotional items, and that might have helped contribute to how Dr. Seuss felt about Hollywood (but I would give anything to have any original Happy Fingers beanie, or a hand puppet, or lollipop, or Hand-y Pants and Shirts, or scarves, or roller skates, or costume jewelry, or balloons, etc.; all these are real items that were advertised in the pressbook, but all of them are beyond rare and impossible to find!). Note that this movie was produced by Stanley Kramer. We did not know that until we saw a candid still with Kramer (we wonder why his connection to this movie never seems to get mentioned!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a COPY SCRIPT. This means that it is a copy of the original script (likely created by a store, which would acquire original scripts and then make exact copies of all the pages and then reassemble them). There was a store in Hollywood called "Script City", which sold lots of these, and there were several other sources for these as well. This is NOT an original script! However, it is exactly like the original one, and certainly can be read and enjoyed, and it will surely cost a fraction of the price of an original script (and likely under the prices that stores have sold these copy scripts for). Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
