N.p.: N.p. 1953. Original program for the notorious Broadway flop "Carnival in Flanders." An interesting and rare piece documenting a directorial and writing effort from the strange final years of Sturges' career. The program was printed well prior to Sturges' arrival to the production-as a result though the musical was never staged prior to his involvement it still credits the original writers George Oppenheimer Herbert Fields and director Bretaigne Windust. <br/><br/>A quite forgotten musical with a troubled production and a rapid demise. When the musical an adaptation of the classic French film "La Kermesse Heroique" 1934 was first conceived Harold Arlen was approached to write the score but the task ultimately fell to Van Heusen and Burke. Bing Crosby provided much of the financing for the production and had great faith in the songwriting team who had written several of his hits despite the fact that their previous theatrical collaboration "Nellie Bly" 1946 had been a critical and commercial flop. <br/><br/>George Oppenheimer one of the book's original co-writers withdrew from the project during pre-Broadway tryouts in Philadelphia and Dorothy Fields joined her brother Herbert to help with rewrites. Eventually all their work was discarded by Preston Sturges who replaced Bretaigne Windust as director and completely reworked the book before the show reached California for a series of stagings by light opera companies prior to the New York City opening. Choreographer Jack Cole was replaced by Helen Tamiris and several cast changes were made before the troubled production finally opened on Broadway. <br/><br/>"Carnival in Flanders" opened on September 8 1953 at the New Century Theatre where it ran for only six performances. The cast included John Raitt Dolores Gray and Roy Roberts. Critics were enchanted by Oliver Smith's sets and Lucinda Ballard's costumes inspired by Brueghel paintings and Gray's lively performance but universally panned every other aspect of the production. In his review for The New York Times Brooks Atkinson wrote "As an actress she Dolores Gray is authoritative enough to bring down the house with some of the maudlin songs.In the version prepared for the stage by Preston Sturges it is laborious and banal. As usual the theatre has lavished a lot of wealth and talent on this hokum. Lucinda Ballard has dressed everybody to the nines. Although Oliver Smith's scenery is cluttered and rather desperate there is certainly a lot of it."<br/><br/>Ironically this nearly forgotten musical is the source for the well loved Van Heusen-Burke standard "Here's That Rainy Day."<br/><br/>Saddle stapled illustrated card wrappers. 16 pages 9 x 12 inches.

Hollywood: Paramount Pictures 1939. Master File script for the 1940 film "The Great McGinty" seen here under the working title "Down Went McGinty" corrected in red pencil to "The Great McGinty." This revision contains an appropriately unusual and rather whimsical foreword by Sturges with two earlier titles "Biography of a Bum" and "The Vagrant" cited on the second and fourth leaves respectively. <br/><br/>Sturges had become a very successful Hollywood screenwriter by the late 1930s and with his screenplay for "The Biography of a Bum" wanted so much to direct the film that he offered to do the job for free. With very few exceptions notably Charlie Chaplin the notion of an established studio writer directing a film was nearly unheard of in Hollywood where writers were typically not even allowed on the set. Only the irresistible cheapness of Sturges' offer made it possible for the film to get made. <br/><br/>Over the six year period during which the script remained unproduced the title changed to "The Vagrant" then "Down with McGinty" then finally just prior to production to "The Great McGinty." It was not only a success but won Sturges an Oscar for Best Screenwriter. More importantly he was allowed to continue as a writer-director with a magnificent career that included one classic after another including "Sullivan's Travels" "The Lady Eve" "Unfaithfully Yours" "The Palm Beach Story" and "Hail the Conquering Hero."<br/><br/>Tall cream colored titled self wrappers rubber-stamped Production No. 672 MASTER FILE FILE COPY PRODUCED and PLEASE RETURN TO THE STORY DEPARTMENT / PARAMOUNT STUDIO - HOLLYWOOD.
