Description:
London: British Nation Films, 1942. Original British program for the 1942 film. A fascinating piece, in that it consists almost entirely of a long transcription by Pressburger of the true-life narrative by Sir George Corbett, which forms the basis for the film. Photo illustrations from the film throughout. Saddle-stapled illustrated self wrappers, 7 x 9 inches, 32 pages. Very Good, with some creasing to the wrappers but no loss or detachment.
