Watch the Birdie, the 1950 Jack Donohue romantic crime photography photographer camera comedy ("Red Skelton Clicks with the Chicks in MGM's Watch the Birdie"; "Based on a story by Marshall Neilan, Jr.") starring Red Skelton, Arlene Dahl, Ann Miller, Leon Ames, Pam Britton, and Richard Rober
NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
Important Added Info: Note that this script (which was Arlene Dahl's personal script, and which was nicely bound in leather with the name of the movie on the spine and the name of the movie and Miss Dahl's name on the cover) has been personally autographed (signed) by FORTY NINE members of the cast and crew (who signed on the first four interior pages using the backs of two of them, and not surprisingly, Red Skelton chose to sign all by himself on the last page, and he wrote a variation on his trademark phrase, "We dood it"). Some wrote long inscriptions to Miss Dahl and quite a few wrote inscriptions of various lengths. The people who signed include: Ann Miller, Red Skelton, Jack Donohue, Richard Rober, Paul Vogel, Pam Britton, Leon Ames, Lillian Rader, Harry Ruskin, Fletcher Clark, John Williams, and Chet Davis. There are pink revision pages bound in from 5/5/50 and 6/5/50, which were the last few pages, indicating the ending was completely rewritten in the final days of shooting. So not only is this wonderful for script collectors, because it is certainly a guaranteed original, but it also has all these wonderful guaranteed original autographs within it!

As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes.

Condition: very good. The covers have very minor wear, but the interiors and the signed pages are in very nice condition. See our multiple images to get a good sense of the exact condition of this script.
