Producers Summaries for The Seven Year Itch

First Time To Auction

20th Century Studios, 1955. A set of (3) scenic highlight documents divided into the three acts of the play The Seven Year Itch by George Axelrod highlighting the differences between the play and the movie script including Act II - three pages, Act II - four pages, and Act III - three pages. In the documents, producer Feldman and team enumerate discrepancies between stage play and movie script. For example, in Act I: "The scene in the Vegetarian Restaurant are in the script, not in the play." In Act II, examples such as "In the play: The foregoing scenes do not appear, of course; we come in on them entering the apartment, returning from dinner." In Act III a rather extensive comparison which reads, in part: " SCRIPT : Richard, sleeping on the couch, awakens, goes to bedroom door, finds Girl still asleep, wonders why she doesn't wake up and go home; is she sick? Maybe she's dead! Panic as he considers this, and cunningly plans to haul her body up the stairs, nail down the floor - they'll never suspect him" and in part, " Play : When we come in Richard is already up, furtively finishing milk and morning paper in through the chained door, reassuring himself there's nothing to worry about "The two attractive, intelligent people met - and it happened." These are production generated notes from Chas. K. Feldman productions doing their diligence in producing the adapted screenplay for their company and their rising star Marilyn Monroe. Exhibiting production handling and retaining two hole punches at the top of each sheet, with each section stapled together in the upper left corner. In vintage very good condition.
