Culver City, CA: RKO Radio Pictures, 1939. Estimating script for the 1939 film. In his 1970 biography of Nathanael West, Jay Martin notes: "On June 6, 1938, [West] was hired for his 'established' salary of $350 a week by RKO Pictures-the first of five major studios to employ him-to make a screenplay from an original story by Richard Carroll. Putting everything else aside, within a week he outlined his plans for treating the material. He fretted all weekend over whether the outline would be accepted, knowing that he could be out of a job again on Monday. On late [Monday] afternoon he was persuaded to telephone the executive producer, Lee Marcus, who told him to go ahead at once to the screenplay. On July 20, West finished a first draft for what would be one of his most successful films. After eight weeks in all, having polished his script, West was released by RKO. [At this point,] it appeared that [West] had a good chance to earn a single credit for this high budget, B-quality movie, but the… Read More

Description:
New York: Random House, 1960. First Edition. First Edition. INSCRIBED by Southern to noted producer Si Litvinoff and his wife Toy on the front endpaper: "To Seymour and Toy with greatest admiration / Terry Southern." The two men collaborated on an unproduced version of "A Clockwork Orange" (1971), to be produced by Litvinoff and adapted for the screen by Southern, based on the 1962 novel by Anthony Burgess. It was Litvinoff who arranged for Southern's option purchase for the rights to the novel in 1965. Southern originally intended to have Richard Lester or Nicholas Roeg direct the film, and have Mick Jagger star as Alex (with the Rolling Stones as the gang of Droogs). However, the project fell apart and was picked up by Kubrick and Warner Brothers three years later. A fine association. "The Magic Christian" is the basis for the wild 1969 film starring Peter Sellers, Ringo Starr, Richard Attenborough, Roman Polanski and many others. About Near Fine in a Very Good dust jacket.
