Important Added Info: Note that this screenplay was written by Daniel Mainwaring. Note that this is a photocopied script of the original screenplay for this classic movie that was sent to agent Paul Kohner (see below). But because it is a photocopy, we think it is likely one that was created in the 1970s. This is supported by the fact that the name Jerry Bick is on the first page. Jerry was a producer of 1970s film noirs (such as The Long Goodbye, Farewell My Lovely & Thieves Like Us) and was apparently interested in a re-make of this film. It ended up in the files of Paul Kohner (see below), but we don't know how or when that occurred. PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS SCRIPT THINKING IT IS THE ORIGINAL FROM 1947, BECAUSE IT IS A COPY OF THAT SCRIPT, LIKELY FROM THE 1970S. 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.
