Calder Willingham screenplay, 1971

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/495830696

The collection consists of a 164 page first draft carbon manuscript of his screenplay, On The Yard, based on the classic prison novel of the same name by Malcolm Braly which Willingham wrote as a motion picture vehicle for actor Dustin Hoffman but was a project which eventually fell through and was never produced. Specially hardbound in a large quarto volume in full green cloth with gilt-stamping. The volume has intermittent handwritten changes by Willingham throughout. The title page is signed by Willingham in black ink. Also, bound in is Willingham's retained carbon typescript of a 17 page letter dated May 10, 1971 to actor Dustin Hoffman and handsigned in ink by Willingham. This long letter describes the Hollywood process of filmmaking and a fascinating analysis of how Willingham sees Hoffman in the role.
