        An archive of script material relating to SINCE YOU WENT AWAY

      [Culver City]: Selznick International Picture / Vanguard Films, 9 April 1943 through March 1949.. Nine volumes. Quarto. Eight items mimeographed typescript, printed on rectos only, one item pictorial wrappers. Modest use to a few wrappers, a bit of rust to a few brads, but generally very good to near fine. An interesting lot of material relating to Selznick&#39;s 1944 multi-award nominated film adaptation of, and elaboration on, Wilder&#39;s epistolary novel about the Home Front, SINCE YOU WENT AWAY: LETTERS TO A SOLDIER FROM HIS WIFE. The film was directed by John Cromwell and Selznick, and starred Claudette Colbert, Jennifer Jones, Joseph Cotten, Shirley Temple, Monty Woolley, Lionel Barrymore and an enormous supporting cast. As originally released in 1944, the film had a running time of 172 minutes; it was recut and re-released in 1949 with a running time of 130 minutes. This archive traces both the original version and the abbreviated version, and includes the following items: a) SINCE YOU WENT AWAY PART II. 9 April 1943, 82 leaves, a portion of an abstract or synopsis of the book evidently for use by the writer; b) a "Narrative Synopsis of Screenplay," 7 September 1943, [1],58 leaves; c) a doorstop of a"Final Shooting Script," 9 September 1943 - January 1944, credited to Jeffrey Daniel - a nome de plume for Selznick which he finally rejected in favor of "By the Producer" - an astonishing [2],290 leaves, plus lettered inserts, and exhibiting a rainbow of mimeo, carbon and original typescript dated revises on colored stocks at a virtual 1:1 ratio to unrevised leaves; d) 28 leaves of "Retakes / Added Scenes / Wild Lines," 12 April 1944; e & f) "Cutting Continuity" and "Dialogue Continuity" for "Foreign Version, both 20 September 1946, foliated in reel format; g) a "Dialogue & Cutting Continuity," March 1949, clearly the recut version; h) a "Spotting List for Recut Version," 22 August 1949, [2],62 leaves; and finally, i) a copy of the illustrated souvenir program for the original release. At the time, the film was the longest and most expensive Selznick production since GWTW, a project that he took as a personal contribution to the war effort.

        Ike in 1943: "Our victory is assured

      Amidst the brutal Italian campaign, Eisenhower says that the spirit of Americans will make the difference& & Dwight D. Eisenhower was promoted four-star general in February 1943 and served as the Allied commander for all the major operations in the Mediterranean theatre throughout that year. After victory in the North Africa campaign, he made his main headquarters in Algiers, to which place most of his mail was forwarded. He also spent time in more forward positions, both in Tunis, and after Italy was invaded, in that country. The invasion of Sicily took place in July 1943, and after it was secured, the Italian mainland was the next Allied target. On September 23, 1943, General Eisenhower took the Italian surrender aboard HMS Nelson off Malta. The German Army continued to fight ferociously in southern Italy throughout the coming months as the Allied armies moved north towards Rome. One milestone was reached when the U.S. Army marched triumphantly into Naples on October 1, 1943. & & Eisenhower was often too preoccupied with running the war to answer his mail, but when a letter touched him or he found the free time, he would. Back from the front and Malta, and amidst news of hard fighting on the road to Rome, he found a letter from a World War I veteran who wanted to do his part in this new conflict. Ike responded with a show of confidence in victory.& & Typed Letter Signed on his "Allied Force Headquarters" letterhead, October 7, 1943, to M.T. Lizner, a veteran of World War I who had written Ike about workers on the home front. "Thank you for your poem and the emblems of the "War Worker" and "Victory" that you sent me. They typify a real American, soldier of 1918 turned war worker of 1943, and one who is utilizing his every talent to win this war. That is the spirit we must have to win, and with it, our victory is assured." This is one of the strongest wartime statements from Ike on victory, and what it would take to achieve it, that we have seen. & & In December 1943, the different national units of the Mediterranean sector became a unified command, and Eisenhower was appointed its overall commander and based in England. Then in January 1944, he was appointed supreme commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces for the Normandy landings that June.

        ORIGINAL pencil, crayon and watercolor illustration. Caption reads "Cheerful Cries of London" and below "the London Cries-The Milkmaid-general London Street scene of Lamb&#39;s day-&#39;Poor drudges whom I have left behind&#39;-Top of page 177."

      n.p, n.d, ca. early 1940s. 13-1/2 x 9 inches. . Unframed, on board . Ross illustrated Charles Lamb&#39;s The Complete Elia for the Heritage Press in 1943. Gordon Ross (1873-1946) was a prolific artist, working mostly in watercolor, from his early days in his native Scotland. As a book artist he tackled everything from Dickens to Shakespeare, including a number of titles for The Limited Editions Club. He is also noted for his sporting work, which included illustrations for The Derrydale Press, Surtees&#39;s Jorrocks Jaunts and Jolities, and several large prints of notable sportsmen, including Sir Thomas Lipton, Hugo Meynell, Peter Beckford, and Surtees himself. The eminent collector A. Edward Newton, who wrote the introduction to the Surtees edition, praised Ross in his book End Papers: "No one now living in Great Britain and doing work in his line can compare with Gordon Ross, now living in New York...He has no living superior; I doubt if he has his equal for the very quality needed to illustrate a humorous classic." A superb draftsman, with a gift for portraiture, Ross&#39;s work has an ingratiating quality of lively elegance; his originals very seldom come on the market

        THE LITTLE PRINCE

      New York: Reynal & Hitchcock, (1943). First Edition. Hardcover. This copy is clean and bright with virtually no wear and is rather uncommon as such. About Fine, lacking the dustwrapper. Antoine de Saint-Exupery. This is copy #103 of 525 numbered copies SIGNED by the author on the tipped-in limitation page. The American edition appeared before the French or English editions, and this is the ONLY way to obtain a signed edition of this book as the author was assigned to fly with the French Free Air Force shortly before publication and went missing about a year later while on a mission. This special issue of one of the most beloved books of the twentieth century is, consequently, one of the most desired limited editions and does not come often upon the marketplace.

        SHERLOCK HOLMES IN CANADA [released as: THE SCARLET CLAW]

      [Los Angeles: Universal Pictures], 15 December 1943.. [1],115 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript, printed on rectos only of rose colored stock. Punched, and held by single brad. Title leaf a bit creased, production number stamp and pencil name on title leaf, otherwise very good. An unspecified, but pre-production draft (under the working title) of the screenplay for this addition to the Universal Holmes/Watson film canon. While the authorship is not evident on this draft, the writers identified above -- which include the film&#39;s director -- received final screen credit. The film directed by Roy William Neel, starred Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, and was released on in May 1944. The contemporary setting served as a tribute to Canada&#39;s contribution to the war effort. Script material relating to any of the pre-1950 Holmes films is uncommon. Although well over one hundred and fifty adaptations of Sherlock Holmes to the screen are known, beginning with SHERLOCK HOLMES BAFFLED (1903), the Rathbone-Bruce portrayals have become almost canonical, beginning with THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (March 1939), and concluding with the twelfth in sequence, DRESSED TO KILL (1946).

        Les Mouches. Drame en trois actes.

      (Paris), Gallimard, (1943). Bound with the original printed wrappers, also the backstrip, in a contemporary (no later than 1955) beautiful, very elegant grey half morocco binding with five raised bands and gilt title to spine (Gemet&Plumbelle). A beautiful, near mint copy.. The seminal first edition, presentation-copy for Claude Gallimard, one of 15 large paper copies, of Sartre's groundbreaking play, "The Flies", which constitutes his very first play as well as the only one he himself characterized as a "drama". The first edition appeared in 15 copies on pur fil and 525 regular copies. The 15 copies on pur fil are not numbered (presumably because the issue was so small and there were no other copies on fine paper made), but the back wrapper states ("EXEMPLAIRE SUR PUR FIL/ 60 francs"). "Gallimard, [1943]. 145 pages. 15 exemplaires pur fil et 525 exemplaires reliés Héliona dont l'achevé d'imprimer est de décembre 1942. Volume mis en vente en avril 1943." (Contat & Rybalka, p. 88).The magnificent presentation-inscription which reads as thus: "A Claude Gallimard/ en hommage amical de/ JPSartre" ("Gallimard" is vague, as someone (presumably Gallimard himself, or his family, when selling the copy) has tried to erase it, as is often done with identifiable names when trying to hide the provenance, but it is still fully legible) is for Sartre's publisher, Claude Gallimard (1914-1991), the son of Gaston Gallimard. Claude Gallimard worked in the family publishing company since 1937."The Flies" counts as Sartre's most important play as well as one of his most important works. It is a dramatical exposition of his central philosophical themes and a main exponent for his existentialism. As such it is also one of the most important plays of the 20th century. It is in 1943, with "The Flies" and with "l'Étre et le Néant" (same year) that Sartre's ideas become fully developed, and of the two, "The Flies" had, by far, the greatest impact on contemporary thought, philosophy, and literature. The work thus constitutes one of the most important and influential works of the period. Following its premiere (June 3rd 1943) in the "Théatre de la Cité" in Paris, the play was censored by the German military administration. Almost immediately after the war, the play was performed again, in Germany as well as in France. Contat & Rybalka: 43/35 (pp. 88-89)

        L'être et le néant. Essai d'ontologie phénoménologique.

      Paris, nrf, Librairie Gallimard, 1943. 8vo. Orig. printed wrappers, uncut. Traces of use. Spine darkened, and lacking small part of lower back. Wrappers a bit soiled. Minor tears to upper front hinge. Internally fine. Wrappers printed in red and blue. W. half-title. 722, (2) pp, 2ff. (one w. colophon).. The very rare first edition, first impression from "Bibliothèque des idées", printed on 25th of June 1943 ("Le vingt-cinq juin mil neuf cent quarante-trois" (colophon) ). With the printed dedication "au CASTOR" (i.e. for Simone de Beauvoir"). This, the first edition of Sartre's first and main philosophical work, which is one of the absolutely most important philosophical works of the 20th century, passed virtually unnoticed, as it appeared in the summer of 1943, which is why it is now extremely scarce. It didn't reach recognition till 1945, thus very few copies of the first edition have been preserved. "Achevé au debut de 1943, le livre parut en été et, étant donné les circonstances, passa à peu près inapercu. Il fallut attendre 1945, année aù la vogue soudaine de Sartre attira sur son oeuvre maîtresse une attention qu'aucun ouvrage philosophique n'avait connue précédemment, pour que les commenteurs s'en ampareut;" (Contat & Rybalka p. 86). Even though the work was hardly noticed when it first appeared, a few scholars acknowledged it as a great work of seminal character, importance and novelty; in 1964 Michel Tourier writes: "Un jour de l'automme 1943, un livre tomba sur nos tables: "L'Être et le Néant". Il y eut eu moment de stupeur, puis une longue rumination. L'oeuvre était massive, hirsute, débortante, encyclopédique, superbement technique..." (Les Nouvelles littéraires, 29 octobre 1964).Sartre is first and foremost known for his philosophical works, and as "L'être et le néant" ("Being and Nothingness") is generally accepted as his greatest and main work, this marks the beginning of 20th century existentialism, and furthermore "has also come to be regarded as a text-book of existentialism itself..." (Mary Warnock's Introduction to Hazel E. Barnes' translation). This, his seminal work of existentialism, marks one of the most influential philosophical movements of our age.Contat & Rybalka, Les Écrits de Sartre, 1970

        McSORLEY'S WONDERFUL SALOON

VG+/VG (bit of chipping to spine ends).. Opened in 1854, McSorely's Old Ale House is the oldest, continuously- operated Irish pub in New York City. As a measure of its 'traditionally minded' owners, the tavern was men-only until 1970, when the National Organization for Women won a legal suit, thereby gaining admission [if not welcome]. By the time I had a beer or two there in the late 70s, the female gender had become a vital ingredient to a congenial evening imbibing amid general convivality, though McSorleys had yet to make any concession in terms of facilities- there was one... if a lady wanted to use it, she took her chances... the memory of the subsequent clapping on her exit, all the while the waiter was bringing 14 mugs of beer to the table [sans tray], is as vivid today as if I had been there just last night. .

        THE MASS EXTERMINATION of JEWS in OCCUPIED POLAND. Note addressed to the Governments of the United Nations on December 10th, 1942, and other documents.

      London, New York, Melbourne (printed in Great Britain), Published on behalf of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, (1943). 8vo. Stapled as issued. Title-page printed in red and black. A light shadow to top of title-page, otherwise fine and clean, no markings whatsoever. 16 pp.. The scarce first printing of this hugely important publication, which constitutes one of the very first official reports on Holocaust and one of the most accurate accounts that had been presented to the West, changing their knowledge of what was actually going on. It is made up of 1) Raczynski's account of the ongoing Holocaust, based among other reports, on the eye-witness-report by Jan Karski, a Polish Government emissary in occupied Poland, who bribed his way into a German concentration camp and witnessed the mass extermination of Jews, 2) the seminal "Joint Declaration" by members of the United Nations, in which "The above-mentioned Govenments and the French National Committee condemn in the strongest possible terms this bestial policy of cold-blooded extermination. They declare that such events can only strengthen the resolve of all free-loving peoples to overthrow the barbarous Hitlerite tyranny. They reaffirm their solems resolution to ensure that those responsible for these crimes shall not escape retribution, and to press on with the necessary practical measures to this end." (p. 12), 3) an extract of Deputy Prime Minister Mikolajczy's statement on behalf of the Polish Government, and 4) the text of Raczynski's broadcast of December 1942, in which pleaded for action, wishing to make the public and the Allied nations "understand how real is the tragedy which is taking place not so very far from the shores of this island, on the continet of Europe - on the soil of Poland. For more than three years the Germans have consistently done everything they could to hide from the eyes of the world the martyrdom of the Polish nation, the like of which has never been known in the history of humanity. But "when we would keep silence the very stones will cry out"." (p. 15). While the details were neither complete nor wholly accurate, the Allies were aware of most of what the Germans had done to the Jews at a relatively early date. The mass murder of the Jews was of such dimensions, however, that, at first, they could not believe the reports that reached them. This quickly changed, though. In February of 1942 Jacob Grojanowski, an escaped prisoner of the Chelmno extermination camp, provided the Oneg Shabbat group with detailed information about what went on at the Chelmno camp. His report became known as the Grojanowski Report. It was smuggled out of the Warsaw Ghetto via the Polish underground and reached London in June of 1942. It is not known exactly what happened to the report at that point, but by February of 1942, the United States Office of War Information had decided not to release information about the extermination of Jews (thinking that there was a risk of the public viewing the war as only being a Jewish problem). Thus, the Grojanowski Report was not released. By at least October of 1942 British radio had broadcast news of the gassing of Jews to the Netherlands, and in December 1942, the Western Allies released their Joint Declaration [which is printed in the present publication], describing and condemning in the strongest manner Hitler's violent attempts at exterminating the Jews of Europe.In 1942 Jan Karski (1914-2000), a Polish World War II resistance movement fighter and later professor at Georgetown University gave his first report to the Polish, British, and U.S. governments on what was going on in the German extermination camps in PolandIn 1942. Karski reported to the Polish government in exile (i.e. Raczynski, who was the Ambassador and one of its most prominent leaders) and the Western Allies on the situation in German-occupied Poland. Karski personally met with Franklin Roosevelt and British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden to explain what went on in Poland, and Raczynski wrote up the report. Eventually, the American Government confirmed the reports to Jewish leaders in late November 1942, and shortly thereafter they were publicized [i.e. in the present publication]. Karski's report (through Raczynski) became one of the most important reports in the history of the Holocaust, being a major factor in informing the West. It sparked one of the first official publications from the Allies on the mass extermination of Jews in Poland and resulted in the official reports and condemnations from the Allied countries, i.e. the "Joint Declaration" [also published here]. "The purpose of this publication is to make public the contents of the Note of December 10th, 1942, addresses by the Polish Government to the Governments of the United Nations concerning the mass extermination of Jews in the Polish territories occupied by Germany, and also other documents treating on the same subject. [...] In the hope that the civilized worlds will draw the appropriate conclusions, the Polish Government desire to bring to the notice of the public, by means of the present White Paper, these renewed German efforts at mass extermination, with the employment of fresh horrifying methods." (From the Introductory Note, p. 3). "Most recent reports present a horrifying picture of the position to which the Jews in Poland have been reduced. The new methods of mass slaughter applied during the last few months confirm the fact that the German autorities aim with systematic deliberation at the total extermination of the Jewsih population of Poland and of the many thousands of Jewswhom the German authorities have deported to Poland from Western and Central European countries and from the German Reich itself.The Polish Government consider it their duty to bring to the knowledge of the governments of all civilized countries the following fully authentical information received from Poland during recent weeks, which indicates all too plainly the new methods of extermination adopted by the German authorities." (p. 4)

        L'être et le néant. Essai d'ontologie phénoménologique.

      Paris, nrf, Librairie Gallimard, (1943). Lex8vo. Bound uncut with the original printed wrappers, also the backstrip (lightly mounted), in a magnificent elegant and artistic dark purple-brown morocco binding with author and title in gilt lettering and single gilt lines to spine, creating six compartments, five of which with grey and red exquisite calf inlays, in alternating stripes, creating 9 stripes in each compartment, mirroring each other. Exquisite marbled paper (brown, red, blue, purple tones) to boards, filling out most of the boards. Top edge gilt. Gilt super-ex-libris to inside of front board. Housed in a marbled paper slip-case (same paper as on boards) with purple-brown morocco edges. Binding signed to bottom of inside of front board: "C. et J-P. Miguet". A magnificent, clean and fresh copy. 722, (4, -Table + colophon).. Magnificent presentation-copy, for Henri-Georges Clouzot, of the very rare first edition, first impression from "Bibliothèque des idées", review-copy ("S.P." on title-page and back wrapper), printed on 25th of June 1943 ("Le vingt-cinq juin mil neuf cent quarante-trois" (colophon) ), with the printed dedication "au CASTOR" (i.e. for Simone de Beauvoir"). This, the first edition of Sartre's first and main philosophical work, which is one of the absolutely most important philosophical works of the 20th century, passed virtually unnoticed as it appeared in the summer of 1943 and is now very scarce. It didn't reach recognition until 1945, thus very few copies of the first edition have been preserved. "Achevé au debut de 1943, le livre parut en été et, étant donné les circonstances, passa à peu près inapercu. Il fallut attendre 1945, année aù la vogue soudaine de Sartre attira sur son oeuvre maîtresse une attention qu'aucun ouvrage philosophique n'avait connue précédemment, pour que les commenteurs s'en ampareut;" (Contat & Rybalka p. 86). Even though the work was hardly noticed when it first appeared, a few scholars acknowledged it as a great work of seminal character, importance and novelty; in 1964 Michel Tourier writes: "Un jour de l'automme 1943, un livre tomba sur nos tables: "L'Être et le Néant". Il y eut eu moment de stupeur, puis une longue rumination. L'oeuvre était massive, hirsute, débortante, encyclopédique, superbement technique..." (Les Nouvelles littéraires, 29 octobre 1964).Around 1943, when "L'être et le néant" appeared, Sartre was working together with Henri-Georges Clouzot. During this period they were working on a "scénario", which was supposed to be "an epic adaption" of Sartre's "Huis clos" ("No Exit" - first published in 1944). [See Contat&Rybalka p. 496].HENRI-GEORGES CLOUZOT (1907 -1977) was a famous French film director, screenwriter and producer. He is especially renowned for his thrillers (e.g. "The Wages of Fear" and "Les Diaboliques", which are critically recognized to be among the greatest films from the 1950'ies). Clouzot also directed documentary films, including The Mystery of Picasso, which was declared a national treasure by the government of France.Clouzot was an early fan of the cinema and, desiring a career as a writer, moved to Paris. He was later hired by producer Adolphe Osso to work in Berlin, writing French-language versions of German films. After being fired from German studios due to his friendship with Jewish producers, Clouzot returned to France, where he spent years bedridden after contracting tuberculosis. Upon recovering, Clouzot found work in Nazi occupied France as a screenwriter for the German-owned company Continental Films. At Continental, Clouzot wrote and directed films that were very popular in France. His second film Le Corbeau drew controversy over its harsh look at provincial France and Clouzot was fired from Continental before its release. As a result of his association with Continental, Clouzot was barred by the French government from filmmaking until 1947."Le Corbeau" was a film based on a true story, about a woman who sent poison pen letters in France in 1922. Clouzot was warned against making the film, as the topic was considered "dangerous". He did make the film, however, and "Le Corbeau" became a huge success in France (nearly 250.000 people saw it within the first months of its initial release). "Le Corbeau" was released in 1943 and generated great controversy. Both the right-wing Vichy regime, the left-wing Resistance press, and the Catholic Church opposed the film and condemned it. The Catholic Church considered the film "painful and hard, constantly morbid in its complexity". The Vichy press dubbed it the antithesis of the "Révolution nationale" and demanded it be banned due to its immoral values. The anti-Nazi resistance press considered it Nazi propaganda because of its negative portrayal of the French populace. Two days before the release of Le Corbeau, Continental films fired Clouzot.After the liberation of France, Clouzot was tried in court for collaborating with the Germans. For his sentence, Clouzot was forbidden from going on set of any film or from using a film camera for the rest of his life. Sartre was one of the first people to defend "Le Corbeau", and, being avidly against this severe ruling, sent Cluzot letters of support (as did e.g. Jean Cocteau, René Clair,After the ban was lifted, Clouzot reestablished his reputation and popularity in France during the late 1940s with successful films including Quai des Orfèvres. He was also widely acclaimed internationally for films such as "The Wages of Fear" and "Les Diaboliques", which both came to serve as source material for remakes decades later. Sartre is first and foremost known for his philosophical works, and as "L'être et le néant" ("Being and Nothingness") is generally accepted as his greatest and main work, this marks the beginning of 20th century existentialism, and furthermore "has also come to be regarded as a text-book of existentialism itself..." (Mary Warnock's Introduction to Hazel E. Barnes' translation). This, his seminal work of existentialism, marks one of the most influential philosophical movements of our age.Contat & Rybalka, Les Écrits de Sartre, 1970
