SAINT-EXUPÉRY Antoine de (1900-1944)
Autograph MANUSCRIPT with 7 small DRAWINGS in pen for a film script| 3 and a half pages in-4.
Film script project illustrated with seven sketches.
These are two outlaws. One of them hides, gets off a train in a station and has to flee from the inspectors. He fights with a passenger and flees on the tracks... "End of Part 1". Saint-Exupéry inserts 7 small pencil drawings in his text to show the plans.
"1st view 4 rather gloomy men. The books simply expressed by a margin of light. An individual with a closed gaze reads. A pile of newspapers. A telephone. He smokes a pipe. In front of him, from behind, H banging his fist on the table. (The individual in front is thin and tall). Nobody moves. The back is bent forward. B finally makes a gesture of doubt and boredom and lights his pipe and immediately the back is agitated and the fist hits the table again. H waves his hand. His hand.
B stays for a few seconds and then: "Well, it's understood I'm hiding you." H's face just goes "phew!" They both get up and walk towards a corridor with a lamp. We see them disappear"...
The scene of the escape and pursuit, with its cutout: "You can see the lights of the cars shaking the train. The three inspectors remain on the platform. View of the tangled lines of a large station. Switches throwing scythes. A whole set of luminous signals [...]1° connecting rods 2° a switch with scythes 3° the connecting rods 4° the coming of a growing disc going up towards the sky [2 sketches of signal discs] 6° the illuminated chimney, horizontal smoke 7° the man who slowly bends on the stairs, ready to jump. At the moment of the fall: his face. [sketch] 8° the hands that let go of the handles. 9° His face which suddenly bites his lips rolls down. 10° The body rolls on the tracks Staying in the middle of the tracks in the middle of the expressways that branch off. [...] And his impression of a beast hunted in the middle of the tracks. A railroad goes on his left.
He thinks he's safe. 2° A switchman pushes a light. 3° The railway forks on him. ...impressions of railroads lit up in all directions and very bright switches suddenly extinguished by the passing train."
