Signed 'Amadeus' Shooting Script (1984)

This item is a 1984 shooting script for the Academy Award-winning film 'Amadeus'. The script features a white cardstock cover with black typeface, held together by a black plastic spiral binding on the left edge. The title page credits Peter Shaffer for the screenplay, based on his original play, and explicitly notes it as a 'Shooting Script, 1984' in the lower right corner. A significant identifying feature is the bold, black ink autograph located centrally on the cover, attributed to the film's director, Miloš Forman. The ink remains dark and well-defined with no significant fading. The physical condition reflects its age and potential use; there is visible surface soiling, light staining (likely foxing or handling marks), and subtle yellowing throughout the cover. There are light depressions and minor corner wear consistent with a production-used or frequently handled document. The paper quality appears standard for industry scripts of the early-to-mid 1980s, reflecting a utilitarian but durable construction intended for film production staff. This piece represents a high-value piece of cinematic history, specifically linking the writer and director of one of the 20th century's most acclaimed period dramas.
