1948WRCLIT70302Np: Robert Rossen Productions Inc. 1948. 294pp. only. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only. Bradbound with mimeographed production company upper wrapper. Pencil notes on upper wrapper some corner creases shallow nicks to fore-edge of last leaf; good but incomplete. An incomplete copy of this version of the "Revised Final Draft" of Rossen's adaptation of Warren's novel. Rossen also directed the multi award-winning November 1949 release starring Broderick Crawford John Ireland Mercedes McCambridge John Derek and many others. A special prefatory leaf notes that as of 19 November the character name 'Floyd Covington' will be changed to 'Floyd McEvoy." It is difficult to assess precisely how many leaves were not included in this copy sent to "Mr. Bernstein" according to the pencil note on the upper wrapper but a copy of the "3rd Revised Final Shooting Script" dated 1 March 1949 included a total of 140 leaves. Scripts for this film are surprisingly uncommon and although the current example is hobbled at best a preliminary examination of early sequences shows it differs significantly from the final film.

Coppola then struggled to find a screenwriter to adapt the book as well as find a director. Eventually he settled on screenwriter Jose Rivera. Before that however he had drafts written under his direction from Michael Herr Barry Gifford Russell Banks and even one himself with son Roman. This draft is one of the first attempts of Coppola to adapt the novel which would not be made into a film until 2012 using Rivera's script under the direction of Walter Salles and produced by Coppola. The film version was first proposed in 1957 by Kerouac himself who wrote a one page appeal to actor Marlon Brando asking Brando to play the part of Dean Moriarty while Kerouac would play Sal Paradise. He never received a response from Brando. <br/><br/>After his father is buried Sal Paradise becomes acquainted with Dean Moriarty and along with his friend Carlo Marx decides to experience America from behind the wheel of a car rather than in the dusty classrooms of Columbia University. <br/><br/>Set in America shot on location in Canada America and Mexico. <br/><br/>Yellow untitled wrappers.
