Typed Carbon, untitled and lacking author attribution, 265 pp, Burbank, CA, "revised 6/3/40," housed in plain blue wrappers stamped "Frank Capra Prod. / Warner Bros. Studio / Burbank, Calif" at lower right and with penciled annotations to upper cover ("send to J. Stewart or G. Cooper" (partially erased) and "John Doe / Gary Cooper"), leaves and wrappers with toning, wrappers chipped at edges. Provenance: the Richard Manney Collection. Robert Riskin wrote the screenplay for Capra's classic, based on a story by Richard Connell and Robert Presnell. Meet John Doe is perhaps Capra's darkest films, set against the depression and dramatizing the attempt of a media mogul to co-opt a grassroots movement for his own nefarious purposes. This long, early draft contains much that did not make it into the final film.
