Moonseed: Fantasies of a Gentle Man, the circa 1970s movie script written by Armando Acosta. It appears that this script was never produced, but we are far from experts on this subject. Apparently, the author, Armando Acosta, thought very highly of his manuscript, because he paid a considerable amount to have hardbound copies made that not only contains the script, but also contains illustrated pages, plus much added material at the end of the volume. He published it in a signed limited edition, and apparently had a page bound into each copy with the name of the recipient on that page! Mr. Acosta is a man of many accomplishments. See his Wikipedia page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armondo_Linus_Acosta. If anyone knows more about this script, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Important Added Info: Note that this screenplay was written by Armando Acosta. Note that this is a signed limited edition, and this is #53 (we don't know how many were made). It was presented to Paul Kohner, and the first bound in page has Paul Kohner's name printed in silver. 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.
