[Los Angeles]: RKO Studios, 15 October - November 1933.. Six volumes. Quarto. Original, carbon and mimeographed typescript, bradbound in typed or stencil-printed wrappers. Minor tanning and use, but unusually nice, very good or better. An array of six items relating to the 1933 Oscar-winning adaptation to the screen of Alcott's novel, directed by George Cukor, starring Katherine Hepburn, Joan Bennett, et al. Here present are: a) a "Second Treatment," by Charles A. Brackett, 15 October 1932, 95 leaves, carbon typescript; b) a November 1933 draft of the final screenplay, by Sarah Y. Mason and Victor Heerman, [2],104 leaves, carbon typescript, with an insert leaf noting this copy was utilized to prepare a typed master in September 1945 by Vanguard films, perhaps in anticipation of a remake (the 1949 remake, based on Mason and Heerman's script, was released by MGM); c) "Costume Research," 6 leaves, original typescript, denoted on the front wrapper as for "Mr. Selznick"; d) "Background Atmosphere Research," two different items, 6 and 11 leaves, one also designated for Selznick; and e) a "Continuity Outline," by Wana Tuchock, 21 October 1933, denoted a "Second draft," 14 leaves, mimeograph typescript, with a couple small revisions in manuscript. Mason's and Heerman's script won an Oscar for Best Screen Adaptation of its year, the film was nominated for Best Picture, and Cukor was nominated for Best Director. Katherine Hepburn won a Gold Medal at the Venice Film Festival for her portrayal of Jo, and the film was a substantial credit in her early career.
