Important Added Info: Note that this is one of three scripts we were consigned that were owned by Hollywood director Norman Taurog. They were from movies that he directed, and he had each one personally bound with information about the movie on the front cover and on the spine of the hardcover binding. The binding is very nice on each! They were purchased from Mr. Taurog's estate. Also note that this script is the revised final draft from August 11, 1957 and the screenplay was written by Nelson Gidding. The first interior page has a form that was to be signed by the person receiving the script and it had perforations in the bottom one-third of that page (and they are true perforations, and NOT a photocopied page). This was the way the studio kept track of who had these scripts! Also note that there are blue revision pages from 9/25/57, 10/23/57, and 11/14/57.

Condition: very good to fine. Someone (likely Mr. Taurog) wrote in each of the actors next to their character's names on the cast of character pages. Otherwise, the script is in really nice condition, including the hardcover binding!
