Culver City: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 3 November 1932,
63 leaves. Quarto. Original carbon typescript, bradbound in typed wrappers with studio label. Typescript about fine; wrapper chipped at overlap edges, spine and lower spine corner.

The nature of the project is slightly ambiguous: the typed wrapper title describes "The Money King" as a work co-authored by Sinclair and Selwyn, and the film treatment the work of Nugent. However, penciled in an early hand is an indication that the treatment too is a... more information
