KANDEL, Aben; COHEN, Herman
Circus of Blood (Berserk!)
London: Herman Cohen Productions, N.d [1966]
98 mimeographed pp., bound in pale green stiff paper wrappers secured with a single split pin to left edge. Ownership signature and revised title to title page. Wrappers a little worn and yellowed, some general edge wear, but a well preserved copy.
Screenplay for the 1967 British film, directed by Jim O’Connolly and starring Joan Crawford, Ty Hardin, Diana Dors and Michael Gough.
PRODUCTION ACCOUNTANT VICKERS STANIFORTH’S COPY, WITH HIS OWNERSHIP SIGNATURE TO TITLE PAGE, AND WITH HIS HANDWRITTEN REVISED TITLE.
Joan Crawford runs a travelling circus whose acts keep dying in suspicious circumstances. Why did Gaspar the Great’s tightrope snap? Why is Judy Geeson throwing knives at Ty Hardin? Who sawed Diana Dors in half? What is Joan Crawford doing in this?
A kitsch classic which (unlike most kitsch classics) enjoyed considerable success on its release. According to Crawford the title Beserk! was her idea; this copy of the screenplay, with its printed title Circus of Blood to the title page, would suggest that the title was changed late in the day.
A scarce screenplay for one of the last movies of Joan Crawford’s career.
