Date Sold 6/8/2014Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Movie Script (measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm], 96 pages) (Learn More) Female on the Beach, the 1955 Joseph Pevney romantic love triangle crime melodrama ("He was the kind of man that her kind of woman can't leave alone!"; "She was Too Hungry For Love... to care where she found it!") starring Joan Crawford, Jeff Chandler, Jan Sterling (billed as "co-starring Jan Sterling"), Cecil Kellaway, Charles Drake, Judith Evelyn, and Natalie Schafer. Note that this was one of a number of movies Joan Crawford made in the late 1940s and the 1950s, where she was cast as a sexy femme fatale opposite a significantly younger male co-star, and many of these movies are difficult to watch for this reason! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this screenplay was written by Robert Hill. Also note that the script has the working title "Female of the Town", but the movie ultimately was called "Female on the Beach". Note that this item comes from the estate of Paul Kohner, who as an agent for hundreds of actors, writers, directors, etc., was constantly sent scripts to "pitch" to his clients or to the studios, and therefore we are 100% certain that this is an original script created at the time it was written. Kohner 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. Condition: good. The cover of the script is missing and the first page is separated from the rest of the script. Learn More about condition grades
