Book desription: Culver City: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Corp, 18 - 25 June 1935.. 126 leaves (altered by lettered inserts). Quarto. Mimeographed typescript, printed on rectos only. Bradbound in studio wrappers, with label. Stamped "Temporary Complete" then "File Copy." Light sunning and edge-use to wrappers, paper clip mark at lower edge of upper wrapper, else very good or better. An unspecified, but close to production draft of this collaborative screenplay by Benchley and Root, based on a story by Lawrence G. Blochman. The August 1935 release was directed by Edwin L. Marin, and starred Chester Morris and Sally Eilers. Benchley contributed as writer to over fifty films during his career, a considerable number of them uncredited. Although he is clearly identified on this draft as co- author, he did not receive screen credit. The label described the script as a "Dia. Cont." but it is, in fact, a full-bodied screenplay. A number of leaves appear to have been revised and bear page numbers in manuscript in the stencil.
