Provenance:
Property from The Jack Whittingham Collection.
Lots 8-11 are offered by the daughter of acclaimed British playwright and screenwriter Jack Whittingham who was integral in the production of the first James Bond film.
Jack Whittingham's screenplay adaption from Ian Fleming's second draft treatment for the first James Bond film, resulted in a number of suggested changes to the story and characters to enable it to be a success in a visual format. Sellers elaborates that he ...made suggestions that were to radically alter the story, throwing up some fascinating new characters and plot developments. For example he altered Domino's character from a straight police investigator to a fiery, sexually aware young woman and later changed her name to Gaby. Whittingham also devised the scene where the bomb is removed from the plane and transported onto Largo's yacht, to be shot underwater.
Literature:
Sellers, Robert, The Battle For Bond, Sheffield. (Tomahawk Press), 2007, pp.41-42 and pp.57-60
