JAMES BOND ‘YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE’, 1967 – DIRECTOR’S SHOOTING SCRIPT (2)A mimeographed typescript of Roald Dahl’s screenplay,dated 17 June 1966, 142 pp, in grey card covers indistinctly inscribedin pencil on the front Mr Lewis Gilbert in an unidentified hand, 36pages annotated in both pencil and ballpoint pen, majority in Gilbert’s handwith some brief notes on character’s movements, a few camera directions, and anumber of dialogue changes; 55 coloured pages of later inserts dating between15 July – 4 October; contained in a black cloth binder; and a printed callsheet dated 7 December 1966, sets listed include: Interiors of‘Blofeld’s Apartment’ and ‘Volcano Control Room and Complex’ Following the remarkable success of Alfie, Lewis Gilbert received the invitation to direct his first Bond film. In his autobiography All My Flashbacks Gilbert recalled that at first he was reluctant to take on the fifth 007 film in the series, feeling that he wouldn’t be able to bring anything new to the table. Telling Cubby Broccoli: “ I would be like Elizabeth Taylor’s fifth husband. I’d know what to do but I wouldn’t know how to make it any different..” Broccoli persuaded Gilbert otherwise, apparently winning him around with the argument that he had the world’s biggest audience waiting to see what kind of a hash he would make of it. A challenge, Gilbert couldn’t resist and one that he thoroughly enjoyed.For this fifth 007 film, the producers Broccoli and Saltzman decided to make a number of significant changes to the team with the aim of bringing a fresh approach to the production. Gilbert replaced director Terence Young and writer Richard Maibaum was replaced by Roald Dahl. It was the first and only Bond screenplay Dahl was to write, which in some ways seems strange as Dahl seemed to have been uniquely qualified for the role, having worked for a secret British intelligence network which was part of M16 in the USA during the Second World War. It was here that according to his biographer Donald Sturrock, Dahl was encouraged to embrace a second life and to: “employ his ‘wining and dining’ skills with women to secretly gather important gossip and other essential information..”.  Roald Dahl had known Ian Fleming well and was excited by the prospect of writing the screenplay for the film. He was not however a fan of Fleming’s book on which the storyline was to be based describing it as: “tired, bad, Ian’s worst book.” In the end Dahl took little more than the title You Only Live Twice from the book and retained four or five of Fleming’s best ideas. The film had to be set in Japan, with Tiger Tanaka, Blofeld, Bond’s pearl-diving girlfriend Kissy and the Ninjah masters of oriental arts. Gilbert recalled that Dahl had been handpicked for this task: “We needed his storytelling skills to strengthen Fleming’s plot and his dark humour to complement it..” Dahl’s script was influenced by contemporary events such as the first astronauts walking in space in 1965; and in January 1966 a US air force bomber carrying two atomic bombs went missing off the coast of Spain, leading to speculation about hostile forces being at play. Broccoli commented that both these headline stories gave Dahl’s script: “ ..a strong flavour of authenticity..”.  Dahl’s compelling storyline unfortunately failed to translate into huge box office success, although the film was by no means a failure.Literature:GILBERT, Lewis All My Flashbacks TheAutobiography of Lewis Gilbert, Sixty Years A Film Director, Reynolds &Hearn, London, 2010FIELD, Matthew & CHOWDHURY, Ajay SomeKind Of Hero, The Remarkable Story of The James Bond Films, CheltenhamGlouc.,2015RUBIN, Steven Jay The James Bond Movie Encyclopaedia,Chicago Review Press Incorp.

A French late 19th century ormolu mounted mahogany and bois satine parquetry bureau a cylindre or cylinder bureauafter Jean-Henri Riesener and Adam WeisweilerCirca 1880, with lozenge inlaid trelliswork to the front, rear and each end, the pierced guilloche brass gallery above three frieze drawers each mounted with bead-and-reel panelling, over a fall with conforming panel mounts, enclosing a satinwood veneered interior comprising three pigeon holes and three short drawers, flanked by spiral-wrapped floral mounted reeded angles, above a writing slide, with a central secret catch-activated and spring-loaded drawer inset with an ormolu relief plaque depicting music-making putti, flanked by two short deep drawers, on angled ormolu legs each modelled as a herm tapering figural column of the goddess Flora with a basket of flowers balanced upon her head, cast with stylised foliate and tasselled floral pendants, on elongated spiral fluted sabots, with a shaped interlacing stretcher mounted with a central sunflower rosette, 93cm wide x 58cm deep x 112cm high, (36 1/2in wide x 22 1/2in deep x 44in high)Footnotes:The upper part of the present lot is modelled after a magnificent parquetry cylinder bureau inlaid with mother of pearl which was supplied to Marie Antoinette by the renowned cabinet maker, Jean-Henry Riesener (1734-1806). Provided in 1786 for the Chateau de Fontainebleau, this impressive piece of furniture was housed in the Royal boudoir. During the latter part of the 19th century the display of Riesener's original at l'Exposition de l'Union Centrale des Arts Decoratifs prompted a number of copies and variants to be produced by the most prominent ebenistes of the period, including by such figures as Linke, Beuderley and Dasson. The lower section of the offered bureau a cylindre conforms to both the legs and stretcher featuring on an exceptional writing table made by the celebrated cabinet maker, Adam Weisweiler (1744-1820). It was provided in 1784 to the Garde Meuble de la Couronne by the marchand mercier, Dominique Daguerre. Whilst belonging to Marie Antoinette, the bureau plat was located in her Cabinet Interieur at the Chateau de Saint-Cloud, however thereafter it was given by the Queen to her close acquaintance, Madame de Polignac. Following the Revolution this 18th century table was sold, before its rediscovery by the Prince de Beauvau (d. 1864) in a marchand's store on the Quai Voltaire in 1840. Subsequently bought at auction by the Empress Eugenie who kept it in the Salon Bleu at the Tuileries, where she held her various audiences. The Empress, who was famed for her dedication and enthusiasm for collecting Louis XVI furniture and objects, was especially keen to own pieces which had originally belonged to Marie Antoinette. This Weisweiler tour de force is now in the Louvre, Paris.Of special note and interest is the fact that the above is evidently an ingenious fusion of these two aforementioned precursors which is a rare occurrence even in 19th century examples of this type.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

A large Italian third quarter 18th century giltwood armchair or throne chairof Venetian originThe frames carved with acanthus, rocaille, flowers, shells, foliate wrapped C- and S-scrolls and a cabochon, surmounted by a Corno Ducale (Doge hat) and flanked to each end by an 'Atlas' putto, above volute scrolled arms, over a shaped seat frame centred by a lambrequin canopy, on 'Atlas' putto figural and C-scroll front legs, with cabriole rear legs terminating in scroll feet, the reverse applied with a small oval metal plate engraved: '7486', re-gilt, significant wear to the leather seat, 105cm wide x 96cm deep x 169cm high, (41in wide x 37 1/2in deep x 66 1/2in high)Footnotes:A related pair of Venetian 18th century giltwood side chairs, made for Paolo Renier (1710-1789), who served as the last Doge of Venice until his death in 1789, sold Christie's, London, 10 June 2004, Important European Furniture, lot 21. Also, a pair of side chairs evidently forming part of the same commission had previously sold Christie's London, 15 December 1994, lot 559.These comparables formed part of a suite of furniture which was originally supplied to Paolo Renier before 1779. This is known because a portrait of Renier dressed in his official robes as the newly appointed Doge, by Ludovico Gallina (now in the Museo Civico, Padua), depicts Renier with a console table and armchairs from this suite, while the painting itself dates to 1779. Both this oil on canvas, as well as two side chairs and one of the armchairs from the Renier suite, are illustrated in A. Gonzalez-Palacios, Il Tempio del Gusto, Le Art Decorative in Italia fra Classicismi e Barocco, Vol. II, fig.s 770-772 & 776, pp.'s 365-368. Of additional interest is another very similar Gallina portrait of Renier, depicted in 'full garb' as Doge, which is set within an elaborate contemporary carved giltwood frame crowned by a 'Corno Ducale' (or Doge's hat), that is very close in terms of its execution and relative size to the one surmounting the offered lot, Ibid, Vol. II fig. 778, p. 369. The Ca'Rezzonico and Cini Collection, both in Venice, house other chairs from this historic suite, whilst additional examples from the set can be seen at the Wallace Collection (illustrated in F.J.B. Watson, Wallace Collection Catalogues: Furniture, 1956, fig. 491-2, pl. 36) and other private collections. A further group of associated armchairs were sold as part of the Donna delle Rose Collection, Venice, 1934, lots 364-371. In this sale catalogue, G. Lorenzetti and L. Planiscig dated the suite to the first quarter of the 18th century and attributed its execution to the sculptor Antonio Corradini (1688-1752) due to the stylistic similarities between this furniture and fragments of the last state barge (Bucintorr), which was also claimed to be by Corradini. However, Alvar González-Palacios suggests that the suite is unlikely to be by Corradini but instead it could be the output of a single anonymous workshop, also dating the work to the third quarter of the 18th Century, by which time Corradini had died, Ibid, Vol. I, fig. LIV, pp.'s 333-341.LiteratureA.
