Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Original Sid Colin & Talbot Rothwell Manuscript titled "Operation Paradise". The play is complete being title pages, followed by 112 pages of script, held together in a binder. It it printed, but has a small additional section which has been hand typed (shown in the third from last photo) and some of the page numbers are also typed. It was great fun to read and has a sort of "Carry On" film feel to it, which is hardly surprising because Sid Colin & Talbot Rothwell went on to write "Carry On Spying", released in 1964. The play concerns an English regiment sent to "Darawa", an overseas "Paradise Island" to keep peace and it mainly describes the goings-on of three members of the regiment and their overbearing Sergeant Major. It has some wonderful comedy scenes, such as when a bomb is thrown into their room and how they incompetently deal with it, or when one of them has to dress up as a woman from the hareem and yes, or course people mistake him for a woman and fancy him! I'm not sure of the date, it seems to be set in the late 40s or 50s with references to Marilyn Monroe and actors from this era and a joke about Gilbert Harding (died 1960), but his name has then been changed by hand to Harold Wilson, so possibly the play was written in the 1950s, but sent around the agents in the 1960s? I'm not sure if the play was ever performed or who the performers were. There is a partly removed label to the front that looks like the play was going to be called "We're all in this Together". There are a lot of great scenes in the play, which you would expect from Sid and Talbot, I particularly like this bit when it seems that the Sergeant Major Burke has deserted (he's actually been kidnapped): "GEORGE: A Deserter! GREEN: Fraid so. Not like Burke, I know - but strange things happen to men out East. Heat. Women. Dope. GEORGE: Oh, I'd never have called the sergeant major a dope, sir. GREEN: He's probably gone native. It happens, you know. I remember when I was stationed at Aldershot a fellow went native. Vanished into thin air! The air's very thin at Aldershot, you know. GUS: Was he caught, sir? GREEN: Oh yes of course. Found him eventually running a snack bar in Purley. Quite reasonable prices too." Condition: Browning, occasional slight edge wear or creasing.

A 10 page manuscript extract from Talbot Rothwell's original screenplay for Carry on Cleo together with his hilarious typescript proposal/ synopsis of the movie and a full 'First Draft' typescript screenplay which contains perhaps the earliest appearance of the oft-voted funniest ever line, 'Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me.' Talbot Rothwell, the in-house screenwriter of the Carry On movies, has long been known to have drawn on scripts given to him by Frank Muir and Dennis Norden (which included their gift of their 'infamy' line) and they are in the form of Rothwell's cache of Muir and Norden's 'Caesar and Cleopatra' sketches written for the radio show, Take it from Here. Chronologically in this collection these are followed by one of Rothwell's early manuscript drafts, heavily reworked; his synopsis - still at that time titled 'Carry on Caesar' and finally the full-length First Draft typescript screenplay. A whole world of screenplay cross referencing, revision, reworking and inter-textuality opens up from these items. The finished movie, Carry on Cleo (1964), starred Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims with Amanda Barrie in the title role. Filming took place in the reused sets from the Burton and Taylor Cleopatra which was released in 1963. By many Carry On fans, the movie is regarded as the series' masterpiece. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 1 "Carry on Caesar" - hand corrected to Cleo, 'Story Line for a Screen Comedy by Talbot Rothwell', Kavanagh Productions - quarto size yellow paper typescript synopsis, introducing 'A Caesar, let it be said, who resembles Kenneth Williams far more closely than Rex Harrison ever did. A fed-up worried and unhappy Caesar. You try traipsing about all over Europe in open-toe sandals.' And Cleopatra 'in fact the world's number one Tease. Cleo is in the Queen racket strictly for gain. Antony having met her in Egypt, is already her abject hungering devotee, suffering from a bad dose of ants in the toga.' This synopsis offers a very different plotline to the final version and no mention yet of Caesar's 'Infamy' line. 2 Talbot Rothwell manuscript draft of 'Sequence B' of Carry on Cleo, pencil on foolscap, pp10 but not entirely sequential. The script begins with an exterior shot of a model of Rome and Caesar in a small chariot drawn by a Shetland pony, returning to a grumpy Calpurnia. Caesar: 'I've been conquering' Calpurnia 'Conquering. A likely story.' Rothwell offers a first draft of the Slave Market scene, crossed through on page 4 and redrafted on page 5 with directions for overhead signs saying: 'Special Today "Best Quality Imported Britons". Hengist and Horsa appear at the auction and the manuscript concludes (p9) with a 'Breakdown' of the sequence. 3 First Draft "Carry on Cleo" unbound typescript, stapled into three sections, cover page loose, [1] ff90, annotation throughout in Rothwell's hand suggesting dialogue, rearranging scenes, correcting the identity of speakers and including Caesar's 'Infamy! Infamy!' at p29. Additional ink annotations towards the end of the screenplay. 2 "Carry on Cleo" ff1-12, each page duplicated. A later draft which begins in Hengist's cave.
