Included with the script are four partially-bound identical sets of carbon typescript pages listing prospective filming locations and camerawork and two smaller unbound leaves one blank and one with manuscript ink annotations to the recto.<br /> <br /> Screenwriter Vera Caspary was best known for her 1942 novel "Laura" the basis for the classic 1944 film noir and the project that most strongly established her presence among Hollywood studios as a desirable writer for film.

The project tells the story of an acclaimed but vain opera singer who falls in with a group of street musicians and learns humility and ultimately love.<br /> <br /> Tall orange titled wrappers noted as Treatment on the front wrapper dated 14th April 1953 noted as Copy No. 15 with credits for screenwriter Vera Caspary.
