An Annapolis Story [The Annapolis Story] (Original screenplay for the 1955 film)

Hollywood: Allied Artists Productions, 1954. Draft script for the 1955 film, here under the working title "The Annapolis Story." With small manuscript ink annotations throughout, mostly noting the scene entrances of different characters throughout the script.

Two sibling cadets at the Annapolis Naval Academy fall for the same girl, creating a love triangle that can only be resolved by one brother's sacrifice for the other in the Korean War, in the tradition of "Wings" (1927). Director Don Siegel's first film starring Kevin McCarthy, followed by the sci-fi horror classic "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956), which was considered to be a (truncated) breakthrough picture for both.

Set in Annapolis, Maryland.
