Upper wrapper snagged at top brad otherwise very near fine. A "First Rough" draft of this unproduced film adaptation of James's 1902 novel. Selznick brought writer/director Robert Edward Stevenson 1905-1986 to the U.S. from England in the 1930s and Stevenson's early successes often made while on loan to other studios than Selznick's included KING SOLOMON'S MINES JANE EYRE TOM BROWN'S SCHOOL DAYS etc. This script represents what would have likely been one of his last projects associated with Selznick as it coincides with his departure for RKO.
