Description:
Revised First Draft script for an unproduced film.
An early draft of a planned remake of the 1935 film-which was in turn based on the 1925 lost silent film-with the setting moved from World War I to the Korean War. Gerald and Alan are rivals in love for Kitty, their mutual childhood friend, although it is Alan who wins her heart. Soon after, both men are drafted, and Alan is blinded in combat. As a result, he decides to conceal his identity and let his friends back home believe he has been killed in order to spare them the obligation of caring for him.
A project from the later years of screenwriter John Lee Mahin's career. Mahin was a prolific Hollywood writer known for his adventure films and racy sexual comedies, such as "Red Dust" (1932), "Riffraff" (1936), and "That Wonderful Urge" (1948).
