Hi Grey Now THAT is cool and of major significance to anyone interested in classic noir or screenwriting. Neil
PS Many congratulations on your forthcoming auction. Each to their own, but it is possibly the most exciting line-up I've seen in 10 or 15 years. ________________________________ From: "Smith, Grey - 1367" <gre...@ha.com> To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Thursday, 15 March 2012, 21:05 Subject: Re: [MOPO] Sunset Blvd lobby card #2 - Swimming Pool! Check this out. http://entertainment.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7006&lotNo=49247 I retrieved this from a man whose father worked at Paramount in the 1940s- 1980s. It was in the bottom of a box full of old still photographs. He didn’t know he had it until told. I am unaware of another copy. Preliminary draft of script.

Sunset Boulevard originally opened with William Holden's corpse being wheeled through a hospital as he narrates how he got there: with a mortuary tag on his big toe. Preview audiences saw this and HOWLED with laughter. The tone was all wrong. The footage was removed and the rest is the movie history. ________________________________ From:Richard C Evans <evan...@mac.com> To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Thursday, 15 March 2012, 20:46 Subject: Re: [MOPO] Sunset Blvd lobby card #2 - Swimming Pool! Genius beginning to a movie, probably my all time favourite lobby card, and for me best piece for that title. On 15 Mar 2012, at 19:17, Neil Jaworski wrote: Great film, great card, great scene. And not only one of the iconic scenes in movie history, but one of the most ingenious (via filming a mirror that exactly fit the dimensions of the pool floor). I'd love more of that kind of American know-how in films these days, rather than yawny-boring CGI.

Great Film. Great card. Great price! From:MoPo List [mailto:mopo-l@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU] On Behalf Of Posteropolis Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2012 2:52 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: [MOPO] Sunset Blvd lobby card #2 - Swimming Pool! From one of the greatest films ever made, this lobby shows one of the best (and strangest) opening scenes in a movie EVER: A few of the LAPD's Finest fish Joe Gillis' (Bill Holden's) body out of Norma Desmond's (Gloria Swanson's) swimming pool. The only thing that could have beat it, in my mind, would be if they had printed a card showing the creepy monkey's funeral. But they didn't.
