Notes
Date of writing inferred from contents.
James Ivory and Lillian Ross spent several years trying to adapt her 1963 novel-in-short-stories "Vertical and Horizontal" for the big screen, but for various reasons the film was never produced.
Part of a collection of film director James Ivory's heavily annotated shooting scripts, editing notebooks, and small scripts. Each of the thirty-one films he directed for Merchant Ivory Productions is represented in the collection, beginning with the production company's first film, The Householder (1963), and including, among others, The Europeans (1979), A Room with A View (1985), Howards End (1992), The Remains of the Day (1993), The Golden Bowl (2000), and The City of Your Final Destination (2010). The collection also includes two films directed by Ivory's partner, Ismail Merchant (In Custody (1994) and The Mystic Masseur (2002)). Items in the collection have been cataloged individually; see collection-level record for more information.

Summary
First of two volumes of diaries kept by James Ivory while working with Lillian Ross to adapt her novel "Vertical and Horizontal" for the screen. In addition to typical diary entries, the volume contains notes on possible casting and unrelated lists and accounts. Two small orange sticky note slips clarify the contents of their pages, and a larger explanatory note-- which was previously affixed to the entry for April 24, 1967-- is now attached to an acid-free slip at that same location.
