About This Item

N.p.: N.p., 1947. Treatment script for the 1947 film, here under the working title "That Wonderful Urge." Accompanying the film are several production documents, including multiple sets of revision pages and two interdepartmental typed notes on Twentieth Century-Fox letterhead.

A very interesting piece of Hollywood history: the script here reads as a remake of the 1940 film, "He Married His Wife" (right down to the names of the characters), but one whose plot was later altered to be the one we know today, about a newspaperman and his heiress.

Light blue titled wrappers, dated July 7, 1947, with credits for screenwriter Lynn Starling. Title page integral with the front wrapper, as issued. 22 leaves, with last page of text numbered 20. Mimeograph duplication on onionskin stock, rectos only. Pages Fine, wrapper Very Good plus, bound internally with two gold brads.
