 | ELMAN, RICHARD AND SCHRADER, PAUL, Taxi Driver Typescript. [NY]: [Bantam], [1976]. First Edition. Partial typescript for Elman's novelization of the Paul Schrader screenplay for the classic Martin Scorcese film, ranked 52nd on a list of the AFI's top films of all time. Approximately 75 typescript pages total, about evenly split between multiple reworkings of the first eight pages and the final 13 pages, with five drafts of the first page alone. Approximately nine pages from the middle of the book. Most pages are ribbon-copy; some are carbon typescript; only 13 pages are photocopy. The majority of the pages bear extensive holograph corrections in Elman's hand, showing a labored, almost pained attempt to do justice to the Schrader screenplay, a copy of which is also included, with an additional 19 revision pages of its own. Accompanied by a typed letter signed by Paul Schrader to Elman (although apparently after the fact as it is written on "American Gigolo" stationery and dated 1980), transmitting a copy of the 1974 script and saying that he "subsequently did more work on the script, but this is a fair representation of what was intended." Also included is a cassette tape labeled "Taxi 2," on which Elman dictates portions of his novelization. Elman's pages are in a variety of conditions: some are wrinkled and edgeworn; some are on acidifying paper; some are fine. The screenplay is near fine; the revisions are heavily coffee-stained but entirely legible. Elman wrote a number of novels, at least one book of nonfiction and at least one book of reportage, but is probably most well-known to the general public for his work novelizing Taxi Driver, one of the greatest films of the last century. Also included, for no apparent reason, is one page of lyrics of an Australian folk song.

The uncorrected proof copy of these reminiscences by Hepburn about being on location in the Belgian Congo during the filming of The African Queen, which was scripted by James Agee from the C.S. Forester novel. Bogart won an Oscar for his performance in the film, and the movie was selected as one of the top 100 Films of the Century by the American Film Institute. Slight bump at spine base; near fine in wrappers. USD 75.00 [Appr.: EURO 50.5 | £UK 45 | JP¥ 6669] Book number: 014070 Click here to order or inquire at Ken Lopez - Bookseller. | |

| KRABBE, TIM, The Vanishing. [NY]: [Random House], [(1993)]. First Edition. An advance copy of the first American edition, in the form of a tapebound typescript with publisher's summary page. Basis of two films, one Dutch and one American, both of which were directed by George Sluizer, and neither of which was faithful to the book's true ending. 8-1/2" x 11" sheets, printed on rectos only; tapebound with printed cardstock covers; near fine. An uncommon format for a proof, suggesting that very few copies were done (as one might expect for a translation of a Dutch novel with, at that time, a connection only to an obscure foreign film).
