An Original Vintage Television Movie Script (measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm], 110 pages) (Learn More) Thompson's Last Run, the 1986 Jerrold Freedman made-for-TV escaped convict crime action thriller starring Robert Mitchum (in the title role as Johnny Thompson), Wilford Brimley, Kathleen York, Guy Boyd, and Royce Wallace NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that included with the script is a letter from Burt Lancaster's personal secretary returning this script. There is a separate "memo" from the man who received the script back from Lancaster saying that it is now "For Charles Bronson"! So apparently, both Lancaster and Bronson turned down the script before they were finally able to hire Robert Mitchum to play the lead role. Note that this script is the revised second draft from June 6, 1985 and the screenplay was written by John Carlen. Also note that the script has the working title "The Last Run", but the movie ultimately was called "Thompson's Last Run". 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. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
