SAILOR WHO FELL FROM GRACE WITH THE SEA, THE (Jul 14, 1975) Screenplay by Lewis John Carlino from the book by Yukio Mishima

Yukio Mishima (source) Beverly Hills: Haworth Productions, 7/14/75. Vintage original film script, plain wrappers, brad bound, 11 x 8 1/2″ (28 x 22 cm.), 116 pp. There is modest wear to yapped covers, this script is an internally clean script, with no telltale copied punchholes, generally FINE in NEAR FINE wrappers.

Yukio Mishima was a preeminent voice in post-WWII Japanese literature, and one of the great Asian modernist writers. And a gay man whose ritual suicide in 1970 was the ultimate expression of his fetishizing a Japanese military past.

This film, which starred Kris Kristofferson and Sarah Miles, is about a disturbed young boy who plots, after the death of his father, to take revenge on the new man in his mother’s life. Screenwriter Carlino also directed the film.
