Two copies, one an early draft in blue wrappers, the other a revised final draft (2-10-75) with a printed cover drawing of Mitchum as Marlowe. Sylvia Miles's copies (who played Jessie Halstead Florian in the production), the first with her travel itinerary, shooting schedule, call sheets etc., the second with a letter from the director, Dick Richards "... I just thought that I would take the time to tell you you're sensational..." Both 11 1/8 x 8 3/4 inches (28 x 22 cm); various paginations, minor annotations by Miles to both scripts. Light wear to the first, the second frayed at the fore-edge of the cover and crudely repaired.
Farewell, My Lovely resulted in Sylvia Miles's second Oscar nomination, for Best Supporting Actress. Her Certification of Nomination for the Award is included in the lot, together with two other awards relating to the film.
