Description

Greene (Graham).- Duffell (Peter) A small archive of correspondence and draft scripts mostly relating to adaptations of Monsignor Quixote and The Honorary Consul, including an 8 page synopsis of The Marquis of Bolibar with 2 pages with autograph annotations in Graham Greene's hand, draft screenplays for The Marquis of Bolibar and The Honorary Consul, photocopies of Greene's copies of an adaptation of Monsignor Quixote and Greene's unpublished play A House of Reputation, numerous letters regarding rights and casting, some creasing and folds, v.s., c.1978-87 (sm. qty.)

⁂ An interesting archive that shows the development of two projects which were close to Greene's heart but never achieved fruition. The Marquis of Bolivar was envisioned as a television mini-series but ultimately never found a production company willing to fund it. The rights to the film of The Honorary Consul were ultimately purchased by Norma Heyman who, much to the disappointment of both Duffell and Greene, ultimately decided to have the film re-scripted by Christopher Hampton.
