A Leo McCarey Script of Aaron Go Bragh Mimeographed Manuscript, 'Aaron Go Bragh' by Leo McCarey, 121 pp, 4to, Beverly Hills, n.d. [but c.1956], with Leo McCarey's Santa Monica address label laid down to title page, bound with brads in pictorial MCA Story Department wrappers with typed label to upper cover. WITH: 3 checks signed by McCarey, two from 1953, one from 1965. Director Leo McCarey may have directed comedy classics such as Duck Soup (1933) with the Marx Brothers, but his heart as a devout Catholic belonged with religious message films upon which he concentrated in earnest as he became more successful. Going My Way (1944) and The Bells of St. Mary's (1945), both starring Bing Crosby as a priest (and the latter starring Ingrid Bergman as a nun) were box office hits. It was McCarey's wish to create other 'feel good' films with a religious bent, but two such projects between 1954 and 1956, Adam and Eve and Aaron Go Bragh, unfortunately went unrealized. In McCarey's personal papers, there is correspondence with John Wayne regarding Aaron Go Bragh which perhaps deals with Wayne's participation. McCarey was sorely disappointed when these projects, which he hoped would show Catholicism as a positive force for change, never came to fruition. 9 x 11 in.
