Item description from seller

First Edition. Original privately printed 143 page shooting script for the Robin Williams film Jakob the Liar, written by Peter Kassovitz, Didier Decoin, and Ron Hutchison, based on the novel by Jurek Becker. Signed and inscribed by Robin Williams and Marsha Williams on the title page to Claire Simpson, the film’s editor. Inscribed: “Claire, Your humanity is in every frame, Mazeltov! Robin Williams Robin Williams” and “Dear dear Claire, where to begin? Thank you.Thank you.For your talent, your spirit, the friendship etc, etc, etc. Love, Marsha”. This copy was owned by the film’s editor, Claire Simpson and has “Claire Simpson” stamped into the leather at the lower right corner of the front board. With a black & white photo of Robin Williams in character as Jakob. Beautifully bound in full brown leather with the title stamped to the front board and the spine and with raised bands at the spine, all edges gilt, 8 5/8 inches by 11 1/8 inches. Decorative endpapers. Fine. Unbeknownst to the many admirers of Robin Williams was that he was a lover of books. Over the years, Williams had his own private press specially printing on fine papers and handsomely binding editions of the screenplays of some of the films he appeared in. They were all printed in very small quantities. Williams would sign them and then they would be sent to members of the cast and crew of the productions. As a unique item, this is a special opportunity to honor and celebrate Williams’s love of his craft, his love of books, and his appreciation of the people who helped to bring his films to life. Jakob the Liar was produced by Marsha Garces Williams, directed by Peter Kassovitz, starring Robin Williams in the title role, with Hanna Taylor Gordon, Bob Balaban, Alan Arkin, Michael Jeter, and Liev Schreiber. The film tells the story of how, during WWII, an ordinary inhabitant of a ghetto (Williams) fakes news about Allied offensives to inspire hope for other victims of the Nazi regime.…
