Manoscritto / Collezionismo cartaceo
James Hilton's typescript draft screenplay for the 1939 film, an adaptation of his own 1937 novel, the only such adaptation he ever completed. With the author's profuse manuscript ink annotations (as well as many pages executed entirely in manuscript ink) throughout. Included is a privately commissioned essay by Hilton scholar Kurt Kausler detailing both the history of Hilton's work on the film, an analysis, and a breakdown of the manuscript. Almost certainly Hilton's first corrected manuscript screenplay for the film. After Jack Warner raised concerns about the script being too long, screenwriter Milton Krims was employed to clean up and shorten it-though in the end Hilton received sole credit as screenwriter. A man hires an Austrian governess and both are suspected of murder when his wife is discovered to be dead. 123 leaves, a gathering demonstrating the author's method, his attention to detail, and his extreme frugality with the use of paper, the last most likely due to wartime shortages. The script consists of (a) ribbon copy typescript leaves, on both onionskin and paper stock, with manuscript emendations on virtually every page (in many cases both recto and verso, with some leaves executed on the versos of unrelated previous work by Hilton), (b) leaves consisting entirely of text executed in manuscript ink, (c) hand-cut partial leaves, and (d) a handful of later Xerographically duplicated facsimiles of Hilton's original annotated typescript leaves. Included is a very detailed analysis of the manuscript, as well as the events surrounding its creation, along with a detailed breakdown of the manuscript elements. Hilton's manuscript leaves Very Good to Fine, quite supple and well preserved. Housed in a modern white three-ring binder. Leaves individually held in modern mylar page protectors.
