Note that this film was released theatrically after it's success on TV NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this TV script is the revised draft from August 18, 1971 and it was written by William Blinn. It is a bound hardcover that has a really cool football logo on the front cover, which no doubt was drawn for this movie, since it shows a black player and a white player with a Chicago Bears helmet, but we have never seen this art associated with this movie before. Obviously, the script was specially bound, and was likely given to a limited number of people, including Nevart Apikian (see below). Note that this item is from the personal collection of Nevart Apikian, who wrote an entertainment column for the Syracuse Post Standard for nearly 50 years. It was acquired from her estate after her passing. Over the past few years, we have auctioned some of the items from her collection, but NOW, we have been consigned 57 excellent items that we are auctioning all at once, in 57 separate auctions! This collection consists of promotional materialthis columnist was sent from studios about movies that were about to open, in order to help her write a more complete review of the movies. In some cases, she was invited to special premieres and publicity events! She was often sent presskits or sets of stills, but often the studio included additional items, some of which were never sent to theaters, and were likely only sent to other columnists. This collection includes sets of stills, presskits, and other items, and all of the sets of stills and presskits come with supplements, and in some cases they have areas underlined or noted on the fronts and some have long handwritten information within by Ms. Apikian, from when she either watched the premiere or conducted interviews with people connected to the movie, in preparation writing her review. For each item, we have noted exactly what is contained in the auction, and we have noted when there are handwritten notes. While we have auctioned sets of stills or presskits from all of these movies before, many of them contain additional items that we have NEVER auctioned before (and may never auction again, given that they were likely only sent to a select group of reviewers). Condition: good to very good. There is staining and deterioration of the paper in the bottom right corner of the first 16 pages of the script. It is greater on the first interior page and gets progressively smaller. Only blank white paper is affected. There is slight darkening around the edges of a few of the pages. Other than these defects, the script is in nice condition. See our multiple images to get a good sense of the exact condition of this script. Learn More about condition grades
