Continuity & Dialogue script for the 1957 film. The guilt a fighter pilot feels over accidentally dropping a bomb on a German orphanage during World War II leads him to become a minister upon returning to the US. When this proves insufficient in assuaging his bad conscience, he decides to volunteer his services as a missionary in Korea, opening a large home for orphans in Seoul. Based on the true story of Colonel Dean E. Hess, a US Air Force fighter pilot turned Ohio minister who returned to the Air Force during the Korean War. As depicted in the film, the 1950 Chinese Communist takeover of Seoul led Hess to facilitate an airlift of hundreds of children from the orphanage to the sanctuary island of Cheju. The twenty-five children who appear in the film, moreover, are Korean children from the real Orphan's Home of Korea that Hess founded, and the gold flying helmet sported by Rock Hudson is the actual helmet Hess wore.

First Draft Continuity for the 1942 film. This is a pre-production continuity, not to be confused with a post-production continuity. The "other woman" in this early 1940s Twentieth Century-Fox programmer turns out to be Emily (Virginia Gilmore), faithful secretary to master architect Henry Summers (James Ellison). Hoping to trap her boss into marriage, Emily begins sending "mash notes" to Henry, purportedly from a mysterious female admirer. She then coerces her old pal Ralph (Dan Duryea) to pose as her jealous Southern-fried boy friend of the nonexistent letter-writer. Poor Henry, convinced that Ralph is the gangster who's been threatening him with bodily harm, takes off for parts unknown. Our heroine spends the rest of the picture chasing Henry until he finally catches her (Hal Erickson, Rovi). From the AFI Catalog: "The working title of this film was 'Leap Year,' also the title of Lamar Trotti's original story. According to a September 4, 1941 memo in the Twentieth Century-Fox Records of the Legal Department, located at the UCLA Arts Special Collections Library, Trotti wrote the story "sometime ago" and sold it to the studio for one dollar when producer Walter Morosco decided to make it as a "low budget picture." Although the legal records indicate that Jerry Sackheim worked on a screenplay for the picture, the extent of his contribution to the completed film has not been determined. Orange titled wrappers, noted as FIRST DRAFT CONTINUITY on the front wrapper, rubber-stamped copy No. 185 and production No. 730, dated June 6, 1942. Distribution page present, with receipt intact.

No Binding. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. A superb-condition cinema-used Finnish A2 poster for the 1949 film JOHNNY STOOL PIGEON, starring Howard Duff, Shelley Winters and Dan Duryea. The film was first screened in Finnish cinemas in 1950 with no subsequent theatrical runs. This particular poster is a standard size 60cm x 40cm approx. It is in really excellent shape, Fine condition. There is a fold line near the top - slanted and visible only from the verso but none to the middle. At the top line of the titles in the letter "a" you can see a mounting hole and there is an enclosed tear surrounding the hole but this is almost invisible - I guess the poster was snatched from it's mounting without any ceremony. No further pinholes. At the bottom edge there is a very short tear and a smaller nick. Otherwise no edge wear apart from some minor handling creasing. The paper is extremely thin and has survived the intervening 70+ years fantastically well. Bright, clean and vivid. Excellent graphics and design. Signed in the plate by the artist. A fabulous Film noir poster.

Executed variously in graphite, charcoal, and gouache on onion skin paper, each leaf tipped on to white paper stock at the corners, some with annotations at the margins.

Sheets 8 x 11.5 inches to 11 x 15 inches. Very Good or better with faint vertical and diagonal creasing to some pieces and only occasional minor splashes, general signs of light use as expected.
