An Original Vintage Hardcover Movie Script (measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm], 131 pages) (Learn More) The Left Hand of God, the 1955 Edward Dmytryk religious melodrama ("Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow..."; "He profaned the cloth he wore! She fought against a forbidden relationship! It happened in the hidden valleys of China."; "The provocative best-seller that rocked the world with its daring is on the screen!"; "The strangest covenant between God and man ever made!"; "Based on the Novel 'The Left Hand of God' by William E. Barrett"; "Screen play by Alfred Hayes"; about an American priest in a small Asian village; he seeks to save them from destruction from a warlord, and a beautiful local woman is romantically attracted to the priest, but she thinks that is forbidden; ultimately, [spoiler alert!] Bogart is revealed to be a pilot who assumed the identity of a dead priest) starring Humphrey Bogart, Gene Tierney, Lee J. Cobb (billed as "also starring Lee J. Cobb"), Agnes Moorehead (billed as "with Agnes Moorehead"), E.G. Marshall, Jean Porter, Philip Ahn, Victor Sen Yung, and Benson Fong. Note that Lee J. Cobb played an Asian role with "yellowface" makeup, something that Hollywood films were still doing in the mid 1950s, but fortunately will never do again. And the movie's producers cast some well known real Asians in supporting roles, perhaps to give the movie authenticity! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this wonderful script was director Edward Dmytryk's personal example (there are a number of corrections and changes made in pencil, with some in red and blue pencil, which we would imagine were put there by Mr. Dmytryk), and all of the pages are folded over diagonally in the top right corner, so it seems he folded over each page as they finished shooting it, until finally they were completely done and every page was folded over! He had it professionally bound with a great hardcover binding with the title and his name printed in gold on the cover and the title and the date on the spine. Note that this script is the revised final draft from February 22, 1955 and the screenplay was written by Alfred Hayes. Note: We have 13 images of the this script, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 13 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 3. Condition: very good to fine. The script is in excellent condition (as noted above, the top right corner of each page is folded over, but since this was surely done by the director, we don't see it as a defect!). See our multiple images to get a good sense of the exact condition of this script. Learn More about condition grades ![]()
