Description:
Burbank, CA: Warner Brothers / Seven Arts, 1968. Collection of 3 vintage studio still photographs from the 1968 film. From the library of Christopher C. Geest, with his stamp on the verso of each photograph. Based on John Haase's 1966 novel, "Me and the Arch Kook Petulia," about newlywed San Francisco socialite Petulia Danner (Christie), who is determined to have an affair with physician Dr. Archie Bollen (Scott). Petulia's pursuit of Archie is relentless, even as he dates another woman, and culminates in a curious twist. The film makes use of various time jumps, but even with an uneven plot still remains an overlooked gem of 1960s New Hollywood. The Grateful Dead and Big Brother and the Holding Company lend tunes for the soundtrack. 8 x 10 inches. Fine.

Burbank, CA: Warner Brothers, 1968. First Draft script for the 1968 film. Seen here under the title "Me and the Arch Kook Petulia." Based on the 1966 novel "Me and the Arch Kook Petuia" by John Haase. A hip, quirky socialite meets an older, newly-divorced doctor and the two begin a convoluted relationship, highlighting the pair's generational disconnects. The film brings a wider audience to many late-1960s countercultural themes, including its differing views on interpersonal relationships, as well as cameos by popular musicians like Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead. Notable also for its novel (for the time) approach to editing, the film contains frequent flash-backs and flash-fowards. Set in San Francisco, and shot there on location in. Tan titled wrappers, with credits for screenwriter Barbara Turner and novelist John Haase. Title page present, noted as FIRST DRAFT, with credits for screenwriter Turner and novelist Haase. 195 leaves, with last leaf of text numbered 168. Mimeograph on eye-rest green stock. Pages about Fine, wrapper Near Fine bound internally with three gold brads.
