First Draft script for the 1985 UK/US film, circa 1984, with manuscript pencil annotations on the cast of characters page noting the actor's names adjacent to their characters. Based on the 1978 play by screenwriter David Hare. Spanning nearly 20 years in the life of Englishwoman Susan Traherne, played by Meryl Streep, the film follows her from her life-changing experiences as a French Resistance fighter during World War II, to her life in post-war England, which she finds inadequate and trivial, her alienation often leading her to act with disregard for those around her. Nominated for two BAFTA Awards. Of note, screenwriter Hare divided the script found here into eight segments, of which there is a note on the first leaf that this was not for the viewing audience, but for clarity in reading for the cast and crew. The eight segments are: "The War," "Europe On The Move," "Austerity," "Plenty," "Suez," "Iran," "The Crisis," and "Liberation." Set in and shot on location in London, Brusels, Belgium, France, and Tunisia. Front wrapper integral with first introductory note leaf. Title page present, noted as FIRST DRAFT, with credits for screenwriter David Hare. 112 leaves, with last page of text numbered 101. Xerographic duplication, rectos only. Pages Near Fine, bound with two gold brads.
