The Irwin Margulies collection consists of contracts, correspondence, revenue reports, memos, notes, and telegrams documenting the process Horizon Pictures went through in casting actors for parts in Lawrence of Arabia, the tribulations faced by a studio making a picture in remote locations and their dealings with a foreign government, the problems associated with writing the script for Lawrence of Arabia, as well as negotiations Horizon undertook with Columbia years after Lawrence of Arabia was released. In addition, there are correspondence, financial statements, and contracts related to business other than that of Horizon Pictures, generated mainly when Margulies was representing producer Sam Spiegel. Also, there is correspondence directed to Margulies and related to his personal financial business.
