Description

“Some joker walked in and lit a match! The set exploded. Because I had done it in so many films, my first reaction was to save the girl”

Souvenir typescript, one page, 8.5 x 11, featuring Price’s response to the question ‘What’s the worst scare you’ve had on a set?’ In full: “For the climactic scene in ‘The Tomb of Ligeia,’ the whole set had been painted with liquid rubber to explode into flame. There were signs all over saying, ‘No Smoking.’ The girl and I had just been secured under great rafters to look like they had fallen on us when some joker walked in and lit a match! The set exploded. Because I had done it in so many films, my first reaction was to save the girl. I grabbed her by the panties and pulled her out! I think the guy who started it was decapitated. For Roger Corman, the real tragedy was that it was a wonderfully exciting shot which he didn’t get on film!” In fine condition, with light scattered creases and slight haloing to the signature. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
