1952137373Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1952. Revised Final Draft script for the 1954 film. Studio File Copy rubber-stamped on the front wrapper. Three front wrappers are present each with varying rubber-stamps to indicate different drafts and each noting different directors: Thorpe who received final credit Mervyn LeRoy and Curtis Bernhardt. Brief annotations in holograph pencil on the verso of one page. <br/><br/>Based on the 1924 operetta of the same name by Sigmund Romberg and Dorothy Donnelly which in turn was based on the 1901 play "Old Heidelburg" by Wilhelm Eyer-Forster itself filmed four times between 1915 and 1959. <br/><br/>Mario Lanza was originally slated to star in the film but a dispute with MGM led him to getting fired from the picture. However MGM retained the rights to his already recorded vocals and had replacement Edmund Purdom lip sync them in the film. Ironically the songs "Beloved" and "Serenade" would become heavily associated with Lanza after the film and cast recording were hits. <br/><br/>Goldenrod titled wrappers noted as FINAL and COMPLETE on the front wrapper rubber-stamped copy No. 172 and production No. 1596 dated 7/18/52 with credits for screenwriters Ludwig and Levien producer Joe Pasternak and director Thorpe. 324 leaves with last leaf of text being the fourth page of a summary dated 11/12/53 and three front wrappers.
