Paramount Pictures/ APJAC Productions/Rollins-Joffe Productions. Revised Shooting Script for the 1972 film, "Play It Again, Sam," directed by Herbert Ross, based on the hit Broadway play by Woody Allen, written for the screen by Allen, and starring Allen, Diane Keaton, and Tony Roberts. A comedy that is pretty difficult to underestimate: even though it was not directed by Woody Allen, it was the template for the many great films he would subsequently write and direct in the 1970s, in terms of shooting style, timing, romantic themes, and the actors involved (the irrepressible trio of Allen, Keaton, and Roberts). Allen had already directed two films at this point ("Take the Money and Run" and "Bananas"), but this film is important in that it predicted the more substantive romantic comedies that would later make him not only famous but important, notably "Annie Hall" (1977) and "Manhattan" (1979). Orange studio wrappers, stamped REVISED SHOOTING SCRIPT on the front wrapper. Credits on the front wrapper for APJAC Productions and Rollins-Joffe Productions. Title page present, with a credit for Allen as both playwright and screenwriter. 120 leaves, mimeograph, rectos only, with a single blue revision page, dated 8/30/71, and a few revision pages that are undated and on a brighter, thicker page stock (but still mimeograph). Pages and wrapper Very Good+, bound with two gold brads. [Book #117679]
