Our expert's notes

An phenomenal archive of production paperwork from the Sam Peckinpah thriller Straw Dogs. This extensive collection of documents covers the entire eight month production complete with three shooting scripts, seven folders containing daily filming reports, hundreds of memos, letters, contracts, call sheets and telexes, and countless additional loose pages of working documents.

Much of the communication is from legendary director Sam Peckinpah, and many of the memos are signed or initialed. Perhaps most interesting is a letter from the director to producer Dan Melnick regarding Susan George’s reluctance to appear in the infamous assault scene and the legal ramifications therein. It was this shocking sequence which has given Straw Dogs its notorious reputation.

This fascinating archive remains in very good condition, displaying signs of natural wear from use on the production, with some additional wear from use and time spent in storage. Dimensions: 52 cm x 38 cm x 20 cm (20 ½” x 15” x 8”)

£800 - 1,200
