An Original Vintage Movie Script (measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm], 86 pages) (Learn More) Dressed to Kill (released in England as "Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Code"), the 1946 Roy William Neill detective crime mystery thriller ("Queen... of a crime cult!"; "Their lives... or a girl's beautiful neck!"; "Adapted from a Story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle") starring Basil Rathbone (as Sherlock Holmes), Nigel Bruce (as Doctor Watson), Patricia Morison, Edmond Breon, Frederick Worlock, Carl Harbord, Harry Cording, Mary Gordon, and Ian Wolfe NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this script is the revised draft from January 16, 1946 and the screenplay was written by Leonard Lee. Also note that the script has the working title "Prelude to Murder", but the movie ultimately was called "Dressed to Kill". Also note that there are many blue revision pages from 1/21/46. Note that the name "M. Neiht" is written in pencil on the top right corner of the cover and also on the top right corner of the first page, but we don't know how this person was connected to the movie. Also, note that this was right after World War II and there were apparently paper shortages, because the back cover of the script is a reused front cover from an older script (they simply put a line through the older title and attached it to the back of this script). Apparently, heavier paper stock was REALLY difficult to find at this time (and both covers have paper loss around the edges, so they weren't the best of paper to begin with!). Condition: good to very good. The cover is separated from the rest of the script and has paper loss around the edges and a vertical crease down the middle. The back cover has a lesser amount of paper loss around the edges. Otherwise, all of the interior pages of the script are in pretty nice condition. Note that we have photographed the cover of the script, the title page, the final page of the script (the one that reads "THE END"), and one or more interior pages. These images will not only provide important information about the script, but they also allow you to closely judge the condition of the script. The script is 100% complete!
