The New Genre: The Musical Film:
Following the success of The Jazz Singer (1927), American film studios produced a great number of musical films, among them Delicious. Playwright Guy Bolton (1884-1979) wrote the story, which he and screenwriter Sonya Levien (1888-1960) adapted as the filnm's screenplay. The final shooting script, shown here, includes the complete dialog and song lyrics, detailed descriptions of each scene and camera shot, and the cast of characters. |
