Archive of vintage treatments, scripts, and other ephemera from the 1962 film. Archive includes: Two carbon typescript treatment scripts by Jean-Paul Sartre, one in English and one in French, both dated December 15, 1958, with annotations in Sartre's hand. An early xerographically duplicated draft of Sartre's voluminous three-part script, a later reproduction made for internal use with copied annotations throughout. A working script used during the film's production, with revision pages. A film program. Three telegrams, a telefax, and a letter regarding the release of the film, the return of Sartre's treatments and script, and a deposition reminder, all from agent Paul Kohner to director John Huston. A copy of the 1984 posthumous publication of Sartre's script, The Freud Scenario. Huston announced his intention to make a film about a young Sigmund Freud in 1958, and asked Sartre, whom he had met on the set of his 1952 film Moulin Rouge, to submit a screenplay. The partnership quickly soured, however, due to Sartre's refusal to shorten his script, which had ballooned to the colossal 472-page script on offer. Huston and Sartre would meet in Galway, but Sartre continued to reject the director's proposed cuts, wryly noting, "We can make a film of four hours in the case of Ben Hur, but the Texas public couldn't stand four hours of complexes." The film was ultimately finished and released in 1962, and although many elements of Sartre's script remain in the film, the philosopher went uncredited.
