EXC ORIG 1936 OUR GANG LITTLE RASCALS THE LUCKY CORNER DIALOUGE CUTTING CONTINUITY HAL ROACH STUDIOS From the collection of a well known Hollywood-based movie historian, collector, author, archivist and intimate of the late great Hal Roach, comes this holy grail item for Roach fans. An original Dialogue Cutting Continuity to the classic OUR GANG comedy short, THE LUCKY CORNER. Much like a script, DIALOGUE CUTTING CONTINUITIES feature all the dialogue and shot descriptions (includi...ng titles) of each and every shot in the film. Cutting continuities also noted the shot #, how many 35mm feet and frames of film into the short that the shot appears. This information would be compiled by the Film Editor (in this case LOUIS MCMANUS) and would serve as a record of all the shots for other key departments at the studio and for filing as proof of content with the U.S. Copyright office (often in lieu of sending an actual print of the film). Studio file copy has 19 pages extensively detailing every one of the 179 shots and lines of dialogue in the short. Cover page notes this as Production G-31 in the OUR GANG series. Continuity is in very good to fine condition. Piece features the original two stapes at the top. Paper is supple and cream colored and free of any rips, tears, stains, chipping or notable creasing. Last page (blank back cover) is fully intact but detached. Unless you attended the Hal Roach Studios auction back in 1963, here is your chance to have an authentic piece of Hollywood history directly from the hallowed Culver City “Lot of fun”. Ultra rare Continuity is an amazing artifact from the golden age of movie making and sure to be prized collectible from this immortal Our Gang short and the immortal Hal Roach.
