Description:
127 pp. (4to) brad-bound yellow printed wrappers. Second Revised Final Draft. March 20, 1953
Original movie script for "Miss Sadie Thompson" starring Rita Hayworth, Jose Ferrer and Aldo Ray. Page revisions are in various colors to distinguish them. "Property of Columbia Pictures Corp." is printed on front cover. Highly successful musical version of Maugham's most famous character and most famous story, "Rain." A scarce script.
There are five movie versions of this story, the first with Gloria Swanson, then Joan Crawford before Rita Hayworth. There was an all-black version made in the 1940's and an independent softcore pornographic version with a Vietnam War setting. Marilyn Monroe had contracted to play Sadie shortly before she died. This is probably the most entertaining version with excellent performances by Rita Hayworth and Jose Ferrer.
