MGM, 1935. Mimeographed manuscript, screenplay by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, play by Eugene O'Neill, 145 pp, dated June 3, 1935 and marked "Complete" on title page, housed in orange MGM wrappers and bound with brads. Starring the formidable Wallace Beery and Lionel Barrymore, O'Neill's story of a young man experiencing growing pains was directed by MGM's crack director, Clarence Brown. Interestingly, the Barrymore role of Nat Miller was originally slated for Will Rogers who had been in the original touring company of the play, but after a fan expressed disappointment in Rogers for appearing in what the fan felt was an amoral play, the ever-thoughtful Rogers bowed out of the production. 8.5 x 11 in.
