Description:
Revised Draft script for the 1972 film. Cameraman Dusty Miller's working copy, with his annotations throughout.

Included is a call sheet and a set of 5 color Polaroid photographs showing the setups for a funeral sequence in the film.
A film every bit the equal of its counterpart, "Get Carter," made by Hodges and Caine the year before, but different in almost every way. Caine effortlessly switches gears from the vigilante killer in "Carter" to a pulp novelist who travels abroad and wanders into a complex murder scenario, unwittingly becoming a part of the puzzle. Grim, funny, and not for the dim.

Pages Very Good plus, with silverfish damage to a few leaves, wrapper Very Good plus, with faint dampstaining to the rear wrapper, and a few light creases, bound with two silver brads.
