A Gone With the Wind preliminary story treatment by Sidney Howard MGM, 1939. Mimeographed manuscript, 50 pp, with "Preliminary Notes on a Screen Treatment of 'Gone With the Wind'" and "Sidney Howard / December 14, 1936" typed to cover, bound with brads in blue wrappers. Beginning with an opening memo, this treatment does a remarkable job of distilling the 1,037-page novel into a detailed, workable outline and was an exceedingly important tool in defining how it might be translated to the screen in a faithful and meaningful way. This copy of the treatment was deaccessioned from the Selznick archives at the University of Texas and is one of only two or three known to be in private hands. Provenance: the collection of Tom Heyes. 8.5 x 11 in.
