Draft script for the 1954 Mexican film. Also included are seven film still photographs from the film. A rare pre-production script from Luis Buñuel's first color film, one of the key productions from his Mexican period, written with Hugo Butler, who was at the time living in self-imposed exile in Mexico with Dalton Trumbo (both blacklisted by the HUAC) and writing under various pseudonyms. Single substantive manuscript pencil correction toward the end of the text.

Ehrlich. 95 leaves, mimeograph duplication. Very Good condition, toned at the edges, some offsetting on the front wrapper, and a 1-inch tear at the left margin.…
