Comprising a one-page typed letter signed ("Mickey Cohen"), dated June 4, 1959, to producer Maurice Kosloff, granting him permission to produce a film based on Cohen's life with Ben Hecht as screenwriter; a vintage print of the 1949 Ed Clark Life Magazine photo showing Cohen in a suit, standing in front of backdrop of newspapers with headlines about him; a four-page typed treatment entitled "Some Notes for Cohen Movie," dated June, 1959, by "Ben Hecht, Perry Lane, Nyack, New York," being a summary of Hecht's ideas for the film; a period copy of a one-page typed letter from Harry Cohen, Mickey's brother, appealing for the recipient to join him in an effort to win a Presidential pardon for Cohen; a period copy of a two-page autograph letter from Cohen, dated December 5, 1963, from prison, to "Gloria," discussing prison conditions and also mentioning President Kennedy's assassination; a 27-page (of 98 pages) typed manuscript, being a partial account of Cohen's life, including a introductory page stating that the material was purchased by James Arthur Vaus, Jr. from Mickey Cohen on March 15, 1956; and four one-page typed letters signed from executives at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Twentieth Century-Fox, United Artists, and Paramount, dated 1959-60, to Maurice Kosloff, rejecting the Ben Hecht-Mickey Cohen film.
