Love and Death

An original script used in the production of the 1975 comedy Love and Death written and directed by Woody Allen who stars alongside Diane Keaton.

This was the personal script of noted special effects artist Kit West. The script is a revised draft dated 11 August 1974 consists of 128 type written pages contained within a wraparound cover of blue card and bound by two pins to the interior. There are a number of coloured revision sheets bearing later dates. The front cover of the script is inscribed 'KIT WEST, SPECIAL EFFECTS' in pencil to the top right corner.

The script is heavily annotated with the majority of the special effects sequences underlined by Kit. The substantial, 1" thick, script is in good used condition with some tearing and wear to the spine and cover from heavy production use.

A rare and heavily used production artefact from this highly rated box office success once described by Woody Allen himself as the funniest film he had ever made.
