Culver City: MGM Studios, 1934. Original dupicated script for the film, released the following year. This copy was originally designated for the use of the research director, but later utilized to supply one of 10 prize copies for a slogan contest in the English fan magazine, “Picturegoer.” A clipping from that periodical laid into this copy identifies this example as being won by Miss Hazel Russell of Sheffield. Studio wrappers; brad-bound; script dept. label chipped; torn at the brads; minor soiling. The ten prize copies were signed by 38 members of the cast and crew of the film and included David O. Selznick (producer), George Cukor (director), Cedric Gibbons (art director), Oliver Marsh (cinematographer), Hugh Walpole and Howard Estabrook (writers), and by players W.C. Fields, Basil Rathbone, Edna May Oliver, Lionel Barrymore, Roland Young, Maureen O’Sulivan, Freddie Bartholomew, et al. This movie version holds up remarkably well, particularly in its inspired casting of Fields as Micawber. Fields replaced Charles Laughton, and was hired on his recommendation.

Description:
In 4. Dim. 28,5x22 cm. Pp. LVI+376. Rara prima edizione del 1752 di questa importante opera del sacerdote Daniele Concina (1686-1756). Concina era noto principalmente per il suo inflessibile rigore e per le sue orazioni energiche e spesso violente. Il suo intento era quello di un ritorno alla Chiesa delle origini. Questa opera formata da tre dissertazioni è una critica aperta alle rappresentazioni teatrali a causa della loro presunta influenza corruttrice dei costumi. Al verso dell'occhietto il testo di una lettera circolare di Papa Benedetto XIV datata 1 Gennaio 1748 agli arcivescovi e vescovi in latino ed in volgare nella quale egli attesta la tolleranza anche se di mala voglia per il divertimento carnevalesco. Tra gli argomenti trattati: storia degli spettacoli, la dottrina luterana, il pensiero di Paolo Segneri in merito, Pignatellli, Bellarmino, le donne in scena, la voluttà del teatro, la musica teatrale ecc... In buone condizioni. Copertina in cartonato coevo con titolo…
