About this Item
This is an original draft of the screenplay by Dalton Trumbo for JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN, based his 1939 novel. This particular draft was probably intended to assist in securing financing for the film, which eventually was released in 1971 and starred Timothy Bottoms, with direction by Trumbo himself. The screenplay is an interesting one; it is preceded by five pages relating the history and sample reviews for the novel. There are two pages with music and lyrics for the astonishing song, SONG OF THE FREAKS, and four pages containing small storyboard drawings and careful descriptions of two scenes. 8.5" x 11" pages, three hole punched and bound with metal fasteners in heavy paper covers with title typed on a white label affixed to the front cover. Revision pages are on pink and yellow paper. 136 pages. Near fine in slightly soiled black wrappers. Seller Inventory # 002610

SALES TAX: The AbeBooks checkout system cannot detect when California sales tax must be added to your purchase price. As a bona fide California reseller, if we are shipping to a point within the state of California, we are required to collect state sales tax. After confirming availability, we will instruct AbeBooks to request your approval of the sales tax necessary based on the selling price of your purchase. SHIPPING CHARGES: Please note that about 13.5% of the shipping and handling charge is retained by AbeBooks as a fee levied against the bookseller and not passed along for purchasing postage and packaging supplies. That is much of the reason why the shipping charge is significantly higher than actual postage costs. This is especially true for international shipping where international postal costs are high to begin with. Occasionally (such as when ordering a set of books, it will be necessary for us to ask domestic buyers for some additional shipping funds. In this case, after confirming your book(s) is available, we will ask AbeBooks to request appropriate additional shipping charges. In practice, this is a rare occurrence on domestic orders. See below for international shipping. PACKING: All books will be carefully packed to insure safe arrival. We use either quality shipping boxes or other shipping containers augmented by bubble, paper cushioning, or cardboard chipboard to insure safe delivery in the same condition as book was sent. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS: Our default shipping cost is for shipping in a flat rate global priority envelope, small box, or flat rate bag. If your book is too large or too expensive to ship in these containers we will be asking AbeBooks to request adequate additional funds so we can ship your book safely and securely. All international shipments will be listed as books-merchandise on customs forms with value as actual invoice cost. No exceptions. If you have any concerns, please contact us via e mail prior to placing an order for an accurate shipping quotation.
