Description:
Universal City, CA: Universal Pictures, 1978. Revised Final Draft script for the 1979 film. Copy belonging to "M. James," with the name in manuscript ink (marked through) on the front cover, but James' association with the film is unknown. Probably the best of the seven adaptations of Anthony Hope's 1894 adventure novel, this time a campy swashbuckler. Rudolf IV (Sellers), the reigning monarch of the tiny nation of Ruritania, plummets to his death while flying in a hot air balloon. The rightful heir, Rudolf V (also Sellers), is kidnapped by the person next in line for the throne.

Yellow titled wrappers, noted as REVISED FINAL DRAFT SCREENPLAY on the front wrapper, production No. 02106, dated May 9, 1978. Title page present, undated, noted as… Read More
