The person who purchases this unproduced script is solely purchasing the script itself, and NOT any right to reproduce it in any way, or publish it. This script comes from the estate of Paul Kohner, who 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.
UPDATED 01/15/2016: Note that a knowledgeable collector tells us that this unproduced film is mentioned in Richard Lester's biography "The Man Who Framed The Beatles" by Andrew Yule. "Flashman was initially greenlighted by UA, cast with John Alderton in the lead, and came within four weeks of shooting in 1970 near Granada, where the plan was to utilize the ancient dungeons beneath the Alhambra. The deal fell apart when a company representative turned up and informed Lester that Alderton had a triangular-shaped face, whereas he and his colleagues had always pictured Flashman as someone with an oblong visage. UA, it seemed wanted out; down went Flashman" Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
