Unproduced Film Script – Joseph Conrad’s “The Heart of Darkness”

Late 1970’s unproduced film script titled “Voyage to the Inner Station: Joseph Conrad’s Descent and Return from the Heart of Darkness” 134 pages of script in the agency covers of Paul Kohner – Michael Levy.

The author is named John nelson Reid and believed to be one of the many pseudonyms of successful writer Shimon Wincelberg (Naked City, The Time Tunnel, The Paper Chase, Have a Gun – Will Travel etc).

The copy of Ilse Lahn who as a successful producer and worked at the agency around that time. Paul Kohner was in the movie business from the early days and would have been in his seventies when this script appeared. He was very successful and managed Ingmar Bergman, Maurice Chevalier, Dietrich, Garbo, Huston and many more. Michael Levy headed up CBS Theatrical Films which was generally unsuccessful.

There are no telling reasons why this script didn’t get to production. One of the difficulties would be that there was another unfulfilled script based on the book written by Orson Welles … it did not make it either … it was regarded as to difficult (read expensive) to produce but many think it was because Welles was frozen out of Hollywood because he upset Randolph Hearst when he made Citizen Kane.

We have read it through and we like it!

We also have the book see separate listing for the summary storyline.

Map of Tasmania – Carte de la Terra Van-Diemen – Rigobert Bonne – 1787

An original copper engraved 18th century map from Cooks voyages depicting South East Tasmania. 35cm by 24cm to the printed area, wide margins and strong plate impression. Pretty good condition uncoloured as it should be.

Whilst depicting the earlier efforts of Tasman the focus of this map is the discovery of Adventure Bay by Captain Tobias Furneaux in 1773. It was not until 1792 when Bruni d’Entrecasteaux found the channel that was to separate Bruny Island.

Other irregularities appear on this map Cape Frederick Henry (now Cape Queen Elizabeth) is technically misplaces as Furneaux believed incorrectly he was just south of Tasman’s Fredrick Henriex bay. Here we have the Tasman Peninsula named Isles Maria.

We particularly like the reference to Mewstone, Pedro Blanco (after the China Seas Island and one of the few remaining Portuguese names) and Eddystone (named by Cook after the English Eddystone Lighthouse)’

Framed in cream mat with black core in charcoal frame. Ready for you study.

Riogobert Bonne (1727-1795) succeeded Bellin as the official chartmaker to the French navy.

Early and interesting map of South East Tassie
