Contact seller5-star sellerOriginal 127 page screenplay for an unproduced film of the acclaimed Broadway musical written by the original creator of the musical play. Masteroff was previously librettist for Cabaret and Harnack and Bock wrote the songs for Fiddler On the Roof. This copy belonged to actor Jerry Orbach and has some ink circlings in his hand i…n the text. In 1970, a film production was in full swing to star Jerry Orbach and Julie Andrews. The film would have been OrbachÕs first feature film and his agent was concerned about Orbach being typescript as he was already a Broadway musical star. Orbach eventually backed out, then the production lost momentum trying to find a replacement for him and was eventually canceled (See John Anthony GilveyÕs Jerry Orbach - Prince of the City, page 53). Very good in somewhat worn and used Studio Duplicating Service light blue leatherette covers. Letter of provenance included. Jerry Orbach (1935-2004) is best remembered for the seen everything New York City police detective, Lennie Briscoe, on the long running television series, Law & Order. However, he was originally a major Broadway star in shows like The Fantasticks, Promises, Promises, Chicago, 42nd Street, etc. Orbach became successful in films as well appearing in Prince of the City, Dirty Dancing, Woody AllenÕs Crimes and Misdemeanors, Mr. Saturday Night, and voiced the role of the Candlestick in Walt DisneyÕs acclaimed animated feature, Beauty and the Beast. Greatly admired and beloved by his colleagues, Jerry Orbach has had a street in the Broadway area, and a New York City theater named in his honor.
