FORTUNE COOKIE, THE (1966) Signed film script by Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond

Billy Wilder (screenwriter, director) [Hollywood: Mirisch Corporation, 1966]. Vintage original film script, 11 x 8.5″ (28 x 22 cm.), printed wrappers, brad-bound, mimeograph, 175 pp. (pp. 69-72A are undated revisions on blue paper). Light tanning to wrappers, with one small tear to middle right front cover, overall near fine.

Boldly signed by Billy Wilder on front wrapper.

Wilder’s acerbic comedy about a TV cameraman (Jack Lemmon) who gets a minor injury while filming a football game — but whose crooked brother-in-law (Walter Matthau) persuades him to feign partial paralysis, and then sue for a huge payout.
