An Original Vintage Script (measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm], 171 pages) (Learn More) Lou Lenart Story (Lenart Picture), the 1960s movie script (a biography of the legendary real life Israeli Jewish Air Force pilot, who was the first to fly Israeli jets in combat versus Egypt) written by Tom Waldman and Frank Waldman. Frank Waldman was a screenwriter who started out very promisingly writing the screenplay for "Bathing Beauty" and "Our Hearts Were Growing Up" in 1944 and 1946. But then, he completely disappeared (as far as we could find), and reappeared in 1955, when he started writing TV screenplays with his brother Tom. They wrote quite a bit for TV and then they made the acquaintance of Blake Edwards, and they did much work together, writing the screenplays for The Party, and a number of the Inspector Clouseau Pink Panther movies. We are currently auctioning six bound volumes of Frank Waldman's screenplays (in six separate auctions) and they are from the early 1960s and a few from later in the 1960s, and we believe that they are all screenplays he wrote that never made it to production, and likely Mr. Waldman had them bound, because he was proud of his work and wanted it preserved, even though it was unproduced! If anyone knows more about the Waldmans (especially why they did not writing we can find for nine years), or about this specific script, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this script is the first draft from October 22, 1965 and the screenplay was written by Tom Waldman & Frank Waldman. "FRANK WALDMAN" and the name of the movie is embossed in gold foil on the leather cover of the script. Included with the script is a handwritten letter from Lou Lenart himself (the subject of the movie) that reads "Hi Frank - Many thanks for the story you sent me. I read it again after all these years. You guys write well - it's a 'turn on'. Best regards - Lou"! Condition: very good to fine. The bound volume is in excellent condition! The enclosed letter has staining on the back that is barely noticeable from the front. See our multiple images to get a good sense of the exact condition of this script.
