First Edition. Original shooting script for the classic Anthony Mann western film Cimarron, dated November 13, 1959. This was actress Mercedes McCambridgeÕs personal copy with the following acting notes about how to play her character, Mrs. Sarah Wyatt, written in pencil by Miss McCambridge on the summary page: ÒBrown Bird! Play her like Ella talks - to us, to the boys - to the cats! When she is soft - when she is mad. Remember her ÔWhoo!Õ and the weary ÔWell.?Õ And the way her head moves out of sync with the cadence of her speech. Back and forth like Keely - like a bird.Ó McCambridge has made various line edits in pencil at her speaking parts in the script. This copy is custom bound in full dark green gilt stamped leather with raised bands on the spine, marble endpapers, and with her name gilt-stamped to the lower right corner of the front board. With ÒCOMPLETEÓ stamped to the bottom of the front cover and with ÒMcCambridgeÓ and her characterÕs name ÒSarah WyattÓ written in pencil at the top of the front cover. Fine. The film tells the story of the Oklahoma land run of 1889 was directed by the great Anthony Mann, written by Arnold Schulman, based on the novel by Edna Ferber, and stars Glenn Ford, Maria Schell, Anne Baxter, Arthur OÕConnell, Russ Tamblyn, Mercedes McCambridge, Vic Morrow, Robert Keith, Charles McGraw, and Harry Morgan. The film received two Oscar nominations for Best Art Direction - Set Direction and Best Sound. Some of Miss McCambridgeÕs other films include All the KingÕs Men (1949) and Giant (1956) for which she won Best Supporting Actress Oscars, Johnny Guitar (1954), and the voice of the Demon in The Exorcist (1973). She also won two Golden Globes for All the KingÕs Men: Best Supporting Actress and Most Promising Newcomer - Female. One of her trademarks was her distinctive sultry deep voice which inspired Orson Welles to refer to her as Òthe worldÕs greatest living radio actress.Ó.
