Rare and important draft shooting script for the Hollywood film The Mysterious Island. Loosely adapted from Jules Verne's science fiction novel L’ile mystérieuse this MGM production - a part-talkie - was filmed in two-strip Technicolour and had a checkered production history: shooting had commenced in 1926 but the film was not released until 5 October 1929. Lucien Hubbard 1888-1971 was officialy credited as the writer of the screenplay and as director even though scenes shot earlier by Maurice Tourneur and Benjamin Christensen - both removed from the project by Irving Thalberg because of their painstaking approach to filmmaking - were used in the final version. Lucien Hubbard is today perhaps best-known as the producer of the silent film Wings 1927 for which he won an Academy Award. Until recently a single ten-minute reel with a colour sequence in the UCLA Film and Television Archive was thought to be the only portion of The Mysterious Island that had survived in Technicolour although complete black-and-white prints had always been known. Then in 2013 experts from George Eastman House discovered that a colour print had been preserved in the Czech National Film Archive; the restored colour print of the film was screened at the 33rd Pordenone Silent Film Festival in October 2014. The cast of The Mysterious Island included Lionel Barrymore Count Andre Dakkar Jane Daly Jacqueline Gadsden Sonia Lloyd Hughes Nikolai Montagu Love Falon Harry Gribbon Mikhail Snitz Edwards Anton Gibson Gowland Dmitry Dolores Brinkman Teresa and Major Roup an underwater creature. Art direction was by Cedric Gibbons with technical effects by James Basevi Louis H. Tolhurst and Irving R. Ries. Jacqueline Gadsden 1900-1986 was an American film actress during the silent era. Her most famous role was in It 1927 in which she starred alongsde Clara Bow. In 1924 she had married William Harry Daly and in fact she made two other films in the same year that The Mysterious Island was released 1929 - one for Columbia and another for MGM - in which she was billed under the name Jane Daly. The Mysterious Island was her last film prior to retirement from motion pictures. Â unknown
