Loring Mandel Papers, 1942-2006

Container Title
M2006-124
Part 6 (M2006-124, Audio 1578A/1-7): Additions, 1955-2006
Physical Description: 8.4 cubic feet (19 archives boxes, 1 card box, and 1 flat box), 7 audio recordings, 8 video cassettes, 2 compact discs (data), and 1 diskette (3.5 inch) 
Scope and Content Note: Addition to the Loring Mandel Papers, 1955-2006. Most of the materials document the two-part project "Conspiracy/Complicity," the first part a dramatized reconstruction of the ministerial conference at Grosse Wannsee, January 20, 1942, which set the administrative parameters of the "Final Solution" to the Jewish problem, and the second on the channels whereby news of the "Final Solution" filtered to the Allies and their response, especially the inter-Allied conference on the refugee problem held in Bermuda in April 1943. The first part was produced by the BBC and HBO as Conspiracy, written by Loring Mandel, directed by Frank Pierson, and broadcast in the U.S. by ABC on May 19, 2001; the second is still unproduced. Materials consist of script files and research files for both parts, and production files, clippings of reviews, and documentation of awards for the first (Conspiracy). Smaller amounts of materials document other projects, including Black Power (1968), China Diary (1986), a projected program about racketeering in the Fulton Fish Market, New York City, Love Songs (1985), a projected television dramatization of David Halberstam's 1986 book The Reckoning, a projected television program about James Gordon Williams (a U.S. businessman arrested on money laundering charges in Ecuador in 1998), and a proposed remake of Gore Vidal's The Best Man. One scrapbook documents Mandel's career 1955-1962. Includes 40 photographs in Box 19, Folder 6.

Conspiracy/Complicity
Note: Closely related pair of drama documentaries for television, the first (Conspiracy) dramatizing the Conference of German government ministers and SS officers held at Grosse Wannsee, near Berlin, January 20, 1942, to coordinate the proposed "Final Solution" to the Jewish Question, the second (Complicity) concerning the American response to the news filtering out of Europe about that "Final Solution," and especially the Conference of Allied officials on the refugee problem held in Bermuda, April 19-28, 1943. The first was shot at Shepperton Studios in England to Mandel's script by HBO in collaboration with the BBC, directed by Frank Pierson, and broadcast in the US by ABC, May 19, 2001, in the UK by BBC2, January 25, 2002; the second remains a project. The material consists of: script files, mostly by Loring Mandel, a few (earlier-dated) by David Edgar, with drafts commented by screenwriters, producers, director, research staff, and consultants; a small number of production files concerning Conspiracy; and a large amount of research material, including photocopies and printouts from electronic media of primary and secondary sources on the Conferences and their background, interviews with participants in the events, and answers by researchers to queries raised by the scripts.
Script Files
Scope and Content Note: The arrangement of the scripts is roughly chronological; it does not attempt to separate out materials relating to one of the programs from those relating to the other (as there was, for a time, a plan to combine the two into one program, and many scripts were written with that in mind, such a division would not work). Separate from the bulk of the scripts is a set from a CD-ROM in Final Draft Pro format (for the CD-ROM, see below), opened and printed with the Final Draft free reader.
