Robinson Crusoe (Original screenplay for the 1954 film, with seven still photographs from the film)

Mexico City: Ultramar Films, 1952. Draft script for the 1954 Mexican film. Also included are seven film still photographs from the film.

A rare pre-production script from Luis Buñuel's first color film, one of the key productions from his Mexican period, written with Hugo Butler, who was at the time living in self-imposed exile in Mexico with Dalton Trumbo (both blacklisted by the HUAC) and writing under various pseudonyms. Single substantive manuscript pencil correction toward the end of the text.

One of Buñuel's more straightforward narratives, quite faithful to the source material, but with a whopping dream sequence as bizarre as anything one might find in the director's later work.

Tall side-stapled self-wrappers, dated "Mexico / 1952," with credits for director-screenwriter Buñuel, screenwriter Butler (under the Roll pseudonym) and producers Oscar Dancigers and Henry F. Ehrlich. 95 leaves, mimeograph duplication. Very Good condition, toned at the edges, some offsetting on the front wrapper, and a 1-inch tear at the left margin.
