Beschreibung:

Mimeographed Manuscript, continuity script by Carey Wilon, 216 pp, 4to, Culver City, CA, September 6, 1924, in yellow M-G-M wraps with script department label to upper cover, markings in red pencil throughout, some fading to text as usual with spirit duplication copies, covers with heavy tape repair at edges. A popular novel and stage show, Ben-Hur was ripe for screen treatment in the early 1920s. Shooting on the epic began in Rome in 1923 (before the date on the present script). The production ran into trouble, however, and was shut down and moved back to Los Angeles (where this draft was completed), resuming in the spring of 1925.
