GBS : Typed Manuscript: Major Barbara [scenes for film], 1944?
Item — Box: 6, Folder: 6
Scope and Contents
With revisions in Shaw's hand and other hands, of scenes written especially for the film; pages are numbered with stamped numerals 1-15, 20-28, which supersede at least four earlier numbering sequences; acquired by Cornell in July 1987; the text of the scenes in this typescript differs from that in the Penguin "screen version" of 1945, and from that printed by Bernard Dukore in The Collected Screenplays of Bernard Shaw (1980); apparently this typescript provides the earliest known text of these scenes; for indications of related material see Dukore pp. 464-465 and Laurence A249
