Scott Fitzgerald's screenplay for "THREE COMRADES" by Erich Maria Remarque (author of "All Quiet on the Western Front"). 1978 1st edition, 1st printing; Southern Illinois University Press; Carbondale and Edwardsville, IL. The book comes with its original, unclipped dust jacket (with the original $10 price intact on the front flap). The book contains numerous black & white photographs.

From the Preface: "The version of Three Comrades published here is not a screenplay in the sense that it is not a finished blueprint for the making of a motion picture. The motion picture was eventually filmed from the shooting script that evolved from the collaboration of Fitzgerald, and E.E. Paramore - with Joseph Mankiewicz' final revisions. It has been customary in the film industry to use the talents of novelists to assist in adaptations or even write original stories for film. This F .Scott Fitzgerald script is interesting for its historical value, as well as its insights into how one novelist reworked the structure of another novelist into a dramatic form."
