Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox, 1939. Final Script for the 1939 Shirley Temple film, "Susannah of the Mounties," directed by Walter Lang, written for the screen by Muriel Dennison, Robert Ellis, Walter Ferris, Fidel LaBarba, and Helen Logan (with only Ellis and Logan credited here), and starring Shirley Temple, Randolph Scott, and Margaret Lockwood.
Shirley Temple is orphaned after an Indian attack, but subsequently becomes the mascot of a Canadian Mountie outpost headed by Randolph Scott, and is ultimately responsible for establishing peace between the Mounties and the Blackfleet-but not before Scott is nearly burned at the stake, and not before Shirley can smoke a peace pipe with a Blackfoot Indian. Originally released in the short-lived sepiatone format.

Pages and wrapper Near Fine, bound with three gold brads. In a custom quarter leather clamshell box. (Inventory #: 116132)
