About This Item
N.p.: N.p., 1959. Second Revised Shooting Final script for the 1959 film. Presentation copy belonging to producer Jerry Wald, with his name in gilt on the spine. 18 reference photographs from the film bound in variously among the script leaves.
Jerry Wald is best remembered for his long and successful association with Warner Brothers as both a screenwriter and producer of a number of notable films, including "Mildred Pierce" (1945), "Humoresque" (1946), "Key Largo" (1948), and "Flamingo Road" (1949). In the 1950s he moved to Twentieth Century-Fox, and was the producer there for "An Affair to Remember" (1957), "Peyton Place" (1957), and "Sons and Lovers" (1960).
Based on the 1957 memoir co-written by Sheilah Graham and Gerold Frank, about Graham's relationship with author F. Scott Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald, who was still married to his (then institutionalized) wife Zelda, dated Graham from 1937 to 1940, until his death of a heart attack.
Bound in light blue cloth with navy quarter leather binding, with five raised bands and gilt titles on the spine. Title page present, dated July 2, 1959, noted as Second Revised Shooting Final. 173 leaves, with last page of text numbered 145. Mimeograph duplication on eye-rest green stock, rectos only, with blue, green, yellow, and pink revision pages throughout, dated variously between 7/10/59 and 9/11/59. Pages Near Fine, binding Near Fine.
