Mimeographed manuscript, screenplay by Stanley Kubrick and Calder Willingham, 106 pp, dated October 24, 1956 and stamped "Temporary Complete" to cover on title page, housed in blue MGM wrappers and bound with brads. Stanley Kubrick made headlines in July 2018 when this unproduced script that he adapted from the 1913 Stefan Zweig novella of the same name (in collaboration with Calder Willingham, with whom he co-wrote Paths of Glory (1957) reappeared. Over the years, Kubrick scholars have debated over the degree to which the director was involved in the project, the plot of which deals with a male suitor who attempts to seduce a mother by winning over her young son. Modern-day scholars were shocked to find that the script was complete enough to be made into a feature film. Kubrick's last film before his death was 1999's Eyes Wide Shut. As one Kubrick expert stated, "Kubrick aficionados know he wanted to do it, [but] no one ever thought it was completed. We now have a copy and this proves that he had done a full screenplay." 8.5 x 11 in.
