Bombshells to Blasters, An Auction You Can't Refuse Pt. 1

First Time To Auction

20th Century Studios, 1955. Studio-generated 14-page printed budget bound and bradded in 20th Century-Fox Film Corp. wrappers. Dated September 1, 1954 to October 8, 1954. The document includes the separate budgets for all departments including cast, sets, music, art department, camera, etc. Highlights include Tommy Ewell's salary of $25,000 and Marilyn Monroe's of $100,000. All expenses are calculated at a total cost of $1,721,500.00. Interestingly, the "Director" budget is left blank in this document. This is a historical record of the nuts and bolts of the making of an American classic film. The 8.5 x 11 in. document exhibits age and minor production handling. In overall vintage very good to fine condition.
