Manuscript / Paper Collectible Signed
Revised Final Draft script for the 1953 film. Presentation copy belonging to producer Jerry Wald, with his name in gilt on the spine. Annotations in manuscript pencil on three leaves, noting substantive changes. Jerry Wald is best remembered for his long and successful association with Warner Brothers as both a screenwriter and producer of a number of notable films, including "Mildred Pierce" (1945), "Humoresque" (1946), "Key Largo" (1948), and "Flamingo Road" (1949). In the 1950s he moved to Twentieth Century-Fox, and was the producer there for "An Affair to Remember" (1957), "Peyton Place" (1957), and "Sons and Lovers" (1960). Based on the 1951 novel by James Jones. The scene is Schofield Army Barracks in Honolulu, in the languid days before the attack on Pearl Harbor, where James Jones' acclaimed war novel brings the aspirations and frustrations of several people sharply into focus. Every story in the film is riveting, but no words can do justice to the its most famous scene, the nocturnal romantic rendezvous on the beach, with Burt Lancaster's and Deborah Kerr's bodies intertwined as the waves crash over them. Winner of eight Academy Awards, and nominated for the Palme d'Or. Set and shot on location in Hawaii. Bound in light blue cloth with navy quarter leather binding, with five raised bands and gilt titles on the spine. Title page present, dated February 23, 1953, noted as REVISED FINAL DRAFT, with credits for screenwriter Daniel Taradash. 177 leaves, with last page of text numbered 167. Mimeograph duplication, rectos only, with rainbow revision pages throughout, dated variously between February 5 and April 2, 1953. Pages about Fine, binding Very Good plus, with front board slightly warped.
