Important Added Info: Note that this is one of the largest scripts I have ever seen! It measures approximately 1 1/2" thick! One reason it measures that much is that there are lots of pages bound into the script that are on a heavier stock paper that show artwork images of how individual scenes are intended to look (I imagine this was done to give the actors inspiration on how to play that scene). Many of the artwork images are of cool fantasy scenes. Note that this script is the revised final draft from March 5, 1935 and the screenplay was written by H. Rider Haggard, Ruth Rose, and Dudly Nichols Condition: fair to good. The script had some slight water staining on the covers and the first few interior pages and the last few. Something occurred at some point that took a corner off of around 80 of the interior pages, but it is solely the bottom right blank corner of each of those pages. Something else caused paper loss in the last 6 pages, resulting in a semi-circular area of loss at the top of each of those pages that slightly extended into the edges of the writing, making it difficult to read a few areas. The final interior page (the one with "FADE OUT" and "THE END" at the bottom) had much more substantial paper loss in the top right. There is paper loss in the top right of the back blank cover, but it is solely blank paper. The owner of this script located a complete example of the script and made photocopies of the final six pages (the ones where the writing was affected by the paper loss), and put those photocopied pages onto the back of the script, so that it could be easily read.
