Jacques PRÉVERT (1900-1977). Autograph manuscript signed, Branle bas de combat, [1937]; 11pages small in-4 on 11 sheets of school notebook (last sheet a little frayed). Poetic script collected in Spectacle. This text was published in March 1937 in issue no. 1 of the magazine Cinématographe (edited by Henri Langlois and Georges Franju), with the subtitle "Scénario pour Marcel L'Herbier"; a sequel, subtitled "Scénario pour Raymond Bernard", was given in issue no. 2 of the magazine. The two texts were collected, divided into "Première bobine" and "Deuxième bobine", in Spectacle (coll. "Le Point du jour", Gallimard, 1951). Yves Robert staged Branle-bas de combat! in a Prévert show at the cabaret La Rose rouge in December 1949. In issue no. 2 of Cinématographe, Prévert summed up the action of the first scenario as follows: "Following a painful and pathetic Cornelian maritime scene, Admiral Grattier du Tendon threw himself into the sea in the presence of his son, Lieutenant Stanislas Grattier du Tendon, and Marie-Thérèse X..., a lady from the best world who is expecting a baby. ... Taking advantage of the panic caused by this suicide, a mysterious sailor with a shifty look and a funny French accent knocks Stanislas Grattier du Tendon unconscious. ... Moments later, the radiotelegraphist receives a distressing message. War has been declared! The manuscript, in midnight-blue ink on sheets of squared paper from a school notebook, in cursive handwriting, with a few rare strikethroughs, bears at the head the subtitle: "Scénario pour Marcel L'Herbier"; Danièle Gasiglia-Laster notes that Prévert had fun here parodying the scenarios of the filmmaker (1890-1979); we might also think of Alphonse Allais. Let's quote the opening line: "C'est la nuit...... We are aboard the "France d'abord à babord et à tribord après vous je vous en prie" one of the most beautiful units in the State Navy"... At the bottom of the last page, Prévert has noted: "(end of the first reel) to be continued". On the reverse, in black felt-tip pen, Prévert has signed and dated: "Jacques Prévert * Paris Printemps 1961".
