Draft script for the 1941 film. Copy belonging to studio secretary Marion Pecht, with her name in manuscript pencil at the top right corner of the front wrapper. File copy, rubber-stamped on the front wrapper. Housed in a custom black cloth clamshell box. From the Richard Manney collection of horror film scripts. The 1941 version of "The Black Cat" is neither a remake of Edgar G. Ulmer's 1934 Karloff-Lugosi film of the same name, nor does it bear much relation to the Edgar Allan Poe story (though, in fairness, neither did the 1934 version). It is more of a horror-comedy affair than its predecessor, with Broderick Crawford and Hugh Herbert in the lead, Bela Lugosi reappearing (now in the more minor role of "Eduardo"), and Basil Rathbone ably handling the part of the shady Mr. Hartley. Shot by the legendary Stanley Cortez of "Magnificent Ambersons" fame. (Hal Erickson, Rovi) Gray titled wrappers, rubber-stamped copy No. 6856, dated February 15, 1941. 117 leaves, with last page of text numbered 117. Mimeograph duplication. Pages Near Fine, wrapper Very Good plus, bound with three gold brads. Weaver, Universal Horrors.
