Two Maureen O'Hara annotated screenplays of The Battle of the Villa Fiorita
Warner Bros., 1965. Mimeographed manuscript, estimating screenplay by Delmer Daves, 145 pp, January 7, 1964, bound in brads within beige Warner Bros. wrappers, signed boldly to front wrapper ("Maureen O'Hara"), signed and inscribed to title page, "To / Maureen / With / Love / Delmer," with some notations in O'Hara's hand in pen and pencil including costume notes, "Italy" written to back wrapper in pencil.
Mimeographed manuscript, final screenplay by Delmer Daves, 139 pp, March 20, 1964, bound with brads in light brown wrappers, "Maureen O'Hara" written to cover beside a small sketch, annotated throughout in O'Hara's hand in pen and pencil. Many pages have pencil or pen slashes across them, label to front wrapper with typed title, "20th March 1964" and "Copy No. 62" to front wrapper, with 2 pp of notes in O'Hara's hand in pen about her costumes paper-clipped together, 1 call sheet, 3 pp Unit List, O'Hara's notes on her costumes in pen on Grand Hotel, Florence stationery, with related correspondence including a photo postcard of Debbie Reynolds, with a note in pen from Reynolds: "Rossano has / bribed me to come / immediately to / replace you. / Love and daggers / Deb."
O'Hara starred in this international romance about a married woman being wooed by an Italian composer, and her children's mission to wrest her away from him. In her autobiography, O'Hara noted how troubled she was by the studio's decision to badly cut the film's love scenes, which she considered essential. She made notes in pen on the verso of page 36 of her final script clearly expressing her concerns about their cuts.
