Book Description

Culver City: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 20 March 1934.. 121 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript, on rectos only. Bradbound in mimeographed wrapper with studio label and stamps. A few soft creases and smudges to wrapper, otherwise a very good or better copy. An unspecified, but evidently close to production draft of this original screenplay by Loos and Emerson, denoted by stamps on the upper wrapper as an MGM File/Vault Copy. The upper wrapper notes in type the "Script okayed by Mr. Hyman" (Bernard Hyman, the producer), and in pencil "Complete with all changes." The working title is amended to the release title on the upper wrapper in a slightly later hand. The 1934 film was directed by Jack Conway, and starred Jean Harlow, Lionel Barrymore and Franchot Tone. The released film had a running time of 75 minutes (later cut to 70 minutes); the length of the present draft (121 leaves) suggests some of the material in this draft likely did not make it to the screen.
