Publication:
New York: N.p., Circa 1979
Description:
Archive including a Draft script for an unproduced film, and several associated typed letters signed relating to the possible casting of Liv Ullmann and Carol Kane. Based on the 1972 novel by Jerome Weidman.
Laid in to the script are a three page handwritten letter on Film Friends letterhead from Marilyn Feinstein to Paul Kohner discussing the film as a possible vehicle for Liv Ullmann, a photocopy of a letter to Kohner from Carol Kane's manager Doug Chapin expressing Kane's interest in being involved in the production, and a photocopied three page document likely for internal use at the Kohner agency with a synopsis and a rather scathing review suggesting it would be a rather poor fit for Ullmann. An unusual look at the inner workings of a Hollywood agency's triaging process.
The story of a New York City man whose Orthodox Jewish mother dies on Christmas Eve, the body disappearing in an ambulance en route to the funeral home, while we follow his crosstown journey to try and arrange her funeral.
