Abstract:

Records, mainly 1959-1961, of the legal office of ZIV-United Artists Inc., the United Artists (UA) sudsidiary created in 1960 by the purchase of ZIV Television Programs Inc. The files primarily relate to the period after the UA purchase, although many files contain some documentation about the earlier, pre-UA era. Included are correspondence, memoranda, contracts and agreements, and court documents pertaining to court and labor litigation; relations with writers such as Vera Caspary and Adrian Spies, directors such as Walter Donegan, and actors such as Broderick Crawford and William Conrad; and to other legal matters. The majority of the contract negotiations engaged in by the department, however, are part of Series 7.8.
