Maugham W. Somerset source work: Swerling Jo screenwriter
THE PAINTED VEIL
Culver City: Metro-Goldwyn Mayer Pictures 1947. 1116 leaves plus lettered inserts. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only. Bradbound in studio wrappers with label upper wrapper in duplicate. Title of later remake lettered on spine otherwise very good to near fine. A composite script with later stamp denoting it a Vault Copy of this unproduced adaptation of Maugham's novel comprised of pages dated variously through August September and October. In 1934 MGM released John Meehan's adaptation starring Greta Garbo and were evidently exploring the possibility of a remake of the popular property. Swerling was a solid writer to bring to the task having worked recently on LIFEBOAT IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN and other significant titles. But for whatever reason the project did not come to fruition and the film based on this script was not made. MGM returned again to Maugham's novel in 1957 and released an adaptation by Karl Tunberg under the title THE SEVENTH SIN. Metro-Goldwyn Mayer Pictures unknown books

Title lettered on spine otherwise very good or better. A "revised second draft" of this original teleplay by Schulberg based on a story by Schulberg and Stan Silverman. The project evidently never came to fruition which is a shame as it is an interesting three hour recreation of Charles and Anne Lindbergh's travels to Germany in the 1930s and their activities during the period after the U.S. entered the War. The subject has been treated in a documentary fashion in years since but the idea of a treatment such as this of the sensitive issue might have been difficult to consider putting into production with one of the principals still living at the time.

Second item stapled at left margin first formerly stapled.

Two late production states of the script for the 1945 film based on a story idea by Jack Wagner cowritten with John Steinbeck and adapted as a screenplay by Frank Butler. The release dialogue script records a print totaling 51 more feet than the censorship script. Irving Pichel directed and Dorothy Lamour J. Carrol Naish and Arturo de Cordova led the cast. Obviously little apart from Steinbeck's treatment for the film the Valentine collection included a carbon typescript may be easily identified as purely Steinbeck's work; however nothing relating to the script saw lifetime publication so even continuity scripts such as these take on some significance for Steinbeck scholars.
