Author Description

For the first time in its history, Universal Studios has opened its vaults and is allowing us to view these rare artifacts of filmmaking. Previously seen only by the stars and technicians, we now have the opportunity to review the complete original shooting scripts from these classic motion pictures. Each book also contains the complete story of the making of the film, many rare behind-the-scenes photos, interviews with the people in front of and behind the camera, and complete pressbook. "I shall treasure my copy of the script, and many thanks for your splendid contribution to its preservation." - Franklin Coen (screenplay author, This Island Earth) "I've been seeing Univrsal pictures since 1923. The Universal Filmscripts Series is unique, and a highly prized portion of my collection of 40,000 books." - Forrest J Ackerman "As they say in the Coming Attractions -- 'Don't Miss It' " - Robert Bloch "The Ackerman Archives provide another treasure for posterity." - Ray Bradbury
