Revised Third Draft script for the 1987 film. INSCRIBED by actor Kristy Swanson on the title page to an unknown crew member. Based on the 1979 Gothic novel by Virginia C. Andrews, about the incestuous plight of four unlucky siblings whose mother abandons them in the attic of her family's decaying ancestral home after their father's death in an automobile accident. While Andrews' novel was wildly popular among teenage girl readers of the 1970s and 80s, test audiences were revolted by some of the film's more taboo scenes, leading producers to heavily re-cut the film and even create a new ending-a decision which Bloom purportedly despised and refused to direct. Partially set in Pennsylvania, shot on location in California and Massachusetts. Yellow untitled wrappers. Title page present, dated April 30, 1986, noted as REVISED THIRD DRAFT, with credits for screenwriter JEFFREY BLOOM and novelist V.C. ANDREWS. 123 leaves, with last page of text numbered 122. Xerographic duplication, rectos only. Pages Near Fine, wrapper Very Good plus, bound with three gold brads. Signed.

Manoscritto / Collezionismo cartaceo
Revised Draft script for the 1993 neo-noir film. Laid in is a map with directions to a location shooting. One of most successful action films of the 1990s, and a peak for actor Harrison Ford. Based on the 1963-1963 ABC television series created by Roy Huggins, which itself was loosely inspired by the 1954 trial of Sam Sheppard. Harrison Ford stars as Dr. Richard Kimble, who, after being framed for the murder of his wife and sentenced to death, escapes from custody and sets out to find the real killer and clear his name, all while being hunted by the police and a team of US Marshals led by Deputy Samuel Gerard, played by Tommy Lee Jones. Winner of an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Jones. Set in and shot on location in North Carolina and Chicago, Illinois. Front wrapper integral with title page, dated January 25, 1993, noted as REVISED DRAFT, with credits for screenwriter Jeb Stuart. 141 leaves, with last page of text numbered 135.
