- Used
- Paperback
[Los Angeles]: Walt Disney Productions, 24 August - 30 September 1981.. 126 leaves. Quarto. Photographically reproduced typescript, printed on rectos only of white and blue stock. Bradbound in printed studio wrappers. Wrappers lightly sunned at edges, shallow snag in top edge of lower wrapper, else a nice copy. A pre-production script, incorporating revisions on blue paper, of Bradbury's own adaptation to the screen of his novel. Bradbury began work on a film version of Something Wicked... as early as 1974 (we've handled drafts dated 1974 and 1976), and its script evolved considerably during that time period. The film finally was produced and released by Disney Studios in 1983, under the direction of Jack Clayton, starring Jason Robards and Jonathan Price, and it remains by far the most satisfactory of any of the attempts to translate his work to film or television.

Los Angeles, Various dates but chiefly 1962 - 1963.. Two carbon typescripts, plus file of correspondence. Generally good to very good. A small but interesting file of material relating to this unproduced film project, a fictionalized treatment of UN Peace Keeping Forces drawing on their involvement in the Congo. The lot includes two variant drafts of a treatment, 99 leaves and 86 leaves, the latter in specially printed production binder, with several rather frayed revised inserts laid in, with scattered manuscript corrections and deletions. Also present is a file of a dozen pieces of correspondence relating largely to research, but as well to trying to place the project. The most significant item among the latter is a long, single-spaced typed letter to Nugent from Frank Capra, rather messily typed, with corrections, signed "Warmest regards, Frank," responding in enthusiastic detail after his reading of the treatment, but declining to get involved due to commitment to another project.
