Typed Manuscript with Annotations, 330 pp, 4to, [Los Angeles], [1949], bound in pale blue wrappers with brads, title typed to upper cover and note indicating this is the first draft and the script from which the mimeo copies were produced for internal distribution. THE FIRST COMPLETE TYPESCRIPT OF THE ALL ABOUT EVE SCREENPLAY. The typescript is based on the text from the handwritten draft in the previous lot, but Mankiewicz has heavily revised and edited this version further, so that it more closely resembles the final screen version. Karen and Margo are the polar opposite archetypes of women in the theater, Addison de Witt's venom is fully realized (as is Eve's), and Miss Caswell (played by a young Marilyn Monroe has her moment in the middle of Margo's party.
