About This Item

Rome: Excelsior, 1978. English-language treatment script for an unproduced Italian film. With a single manuscript ink annotation to page 2, noting an editorial revision. Laid in with the script is a xerographically duplicated cost estimate sheet, in both English and Italian, noting the name of cinematographer Pasqualino de Santis, dated July 1978.

A middle-aged, newlywed nobleman feels trapped in his marriage to his young wife, a beautiful but avaricious middle-class woman, and is led to increasingly bizarre measures in order to escape her clutches. Ostensibly intended as a follow-up to "Divorce Italian Style" (1961, co-written by screenwriter Alfredo Giannetti) and "Marriage Italian Style" (1964).

Set in Sicily.

Green wrappers, with a title label and credits for screenwriter A. Giannetti affixed on the front wrapper. Missing title page, presumably as issued. 8 leaves, with last page of text numbered 6. Xerographic duplication, rectos only. Pages Fine, wrapper Near Fine, with perfect binding.
