803. Clark Gable's personal leather-bound script for It Started In Naples. (Paramount, 1960) It Started in Naples was Hollywood icon, Clark Gable's, final Paramount film and the second-to-last film of his legendary career. This important working script was written by Melville Shavelson, Jack Rose and Suso Checchi d'Amico. The film was directed by Shavelson and produced by Rose and the two legendary stars, Gable and Sophia Loren, shot the picture on location in Italy with an Italian cast that included Vittorio de Sica. It was released in August 1960. Bound for Gable's library, in caramel-colored leather, with decorative marbled endpapers, the front cover carries the film's title and Gable's name in gold surrounded by a gilt border design. 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
