Laid in amongst the multi-colored page changes are 15 vintage studio stills, mostly of Gable and Loren. The title page carries the earlier title "The Bay of Naples" as well as the writing credits, the Paramount production number "10362" and "Final Script, August 3, 1959, Copied August 17, 1959". A superb, one-of-a-kind script from Clark Gable's personal library. $1000 - $1500
