Morrow, Jeff This Island Earth (Universal, 1955). Directed by Joseph Newman, based on a novel by famous science fiction writer Raymond F. Jones, This Island Earth is one of the best sci-fi epics of the fifties. Exceptional special effects, futuristic set design and incredible make-up combine in Technicolor to make a visually stunning film. The plot of This Island Earth involves the kidnapping of human scientists by Exeter (Jeff Morrow) and their transport to Metaluna to help Exeter and his people fight invaders from Zygon. The marvelous effects and the alien abduction plot make this a classic of its genre and it remains a cult favorite.
Signature and notes ("Jeff Morrow"). Four pink script pages from This Island Earth, with annotations by star Jeff Morrow, who has also signed at the top of the first page. The pages, with three holes punched along left edge, are held together with a brad in the top hole. One 3" tear at top of first page bisects "Changes - 2/23/54" and one section of text, right edges are curled with a few minor tears, minor age toning at edges, diagonal crease at bottom right corner of all pages is most noticeable on pages 2 & 3. Overall, good to very good condition. Received in person by the consignor.
The exciting sequence outlined the script pages offered here involves an attack by a mutant, a get-away and a near miss. Shot by shot details and dialogue (although this sequence is heavy on action) make this a wonderful relic of one of the most memorable sci-fi movies of the last century.
Estimated Value $150 - 250.
