Description:
[Np: London Film Productions for Selznick Releasing Organization], 19 July 1948.. 118 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript, printed on rectos only. Bradbound in typescript blue wrappers, with small script number stamp. Slight sunning at edges of wrappers, else about fine. A "second draft" of this original screenplay by Greene, with uncredited contributions by Orson Welles (who it is said wrote his own dialogue) and Carol Reed, the director. The English production premiered in the UK on 31 August 1949, and opened in the U.S. in February 1950, with distribution through Selznick Releasing Organization. This script is one of a small number of preproduction scripts prepared for use by the latter group. The cast included Joseph Cotton, Orson Welles, Trevor Howard and Allida Valli, and the film was appreciated in its own time via a number of nominations and awards, and appreciated even more considerably by posterity. Greene published an adaptation of the original treatment in 1950, and in 1968, a form of…

[Culver City]: Selznick International Pictures, 1946. 208 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript, printed on rectos only. Bradbound in typescript studio wrappers. Upper wrapper smudged and snagged at one brad, lower wrapper a bit dusty, otherwise very good, internally near fine. A "final script" for the 1947 Selznick adaptation to the screen of Busch's 1944 novel, directed by King Vidor, starring Jennifer Jones, Joseph Cotton, Gregory Peck, Lionel Barrymore, Lillian Gish, Butterfly McQueen and Harry Carey. The film won the award for the Best Overall Production at the Venice Film Festival. The first two leaves are salmon revises, dated 10/7/46. The film had something of a bumpy development - although Busch was himself a productive screenwriter for three decades, with a dozen credited screenplays and uncredited work on others, and he was responsible for a full treatment and collaborative early draft of the screenplay, his final screen credit for the film consisted solely of "Suggested by a Novel by ...." The present draft drops credit to Oliver P. Garrett, who was involved in several of the drafts subsequent to Busch's treatment and is credited solely to Selznick. Ben Hecht had dropped in for some uncredited script doctoring, and several uncredited directors, including Josef von Sternberg, eventually stepped in to help out. Many changes were required to accommodate the various protectors of public morality, and an analysis of the evolution of the film through the succession of the widely disparate scripts would likely be informative.

Los Angeles, Various dates but chiefly 1962 - 1963.. Two carbon typescripts, plus file of correspondence. Generally good to very good. A small but interesting file of material relating to this unproduced film project, a fictionalized treatment of UN Peace Keeping Forces drawing on their involvement in the Congo. The lot includes two variant drafts of a treatment, 99 leaves and 86 leaves, the latter in specially printed production binder, with several rather frayed revised inserts laid in, with scattered manuscript corrections and deletions. Also present is a file of a dozen pieces of correspondence relating largely to research, but as well to trying to place the project. The most significant item among the latter is a long, single-spaced typed letter to Nugent from Frank Capra, rather messily typed, with corrections, signed "Warmest regards, Frank," responding in enthusiastic detail after his reading of the treatment, but declining to get involved due to commitment to another project. He writes, in…
