About This Item
Mayer wrote original screenplays or adaptations for *To Be or Not to Be, Desire, So Red the Rose, A Royal Scandal, The Buccaneer, They Met in Bombay, Merrily We Go to Hell,* and many others. Garrett wrote original screenplays or adaptations for *Duel in the Sun, The Hurricane, Manhattan Melodrama, A Farewell to Arms, Night Flight, The Story of Temple Drake* and *Gone with the Wind* (albeit uncredited), and many others.
Novels such as this were often written on spec and used as extended treatments: mimeographed and then circulated in Hollywood in order to interest a studio in buying the property, commissioning a screenplay, and producing a movie. In this case, we cannot connect it to any specific production, although it might have been changed or adapted. *OCLC* locates no copies, but the Edwin Justus Mayer papers at the New York Public Library hold a version of something with this title. An interesting "novel script.
