OVERALL CONDITION is not bad at the beginning of the script. There's even a casting note in pen, which is the key to most likely agency use - hence it not being dated. The problems come at the end of the script with page 118 - it's printed side-ways.

Last page 119 is back to vertical correctness. The other problem is that it took on water at some point that damaged the last few pages as shown in photo. She is what she is! HISTORICAL INFORMATION: See Pix - Very Fine - Light cover staining - Interior Excellent!

STORYLINE: 1940 The Great Depression is over and World War II had just begun. King of the con men Fargo Gondorff is released from prison and reassembles his cronies for another con, out to avenge the murder of his lifelong pal and fellow con artist Kid Colors who was kidnapped, beaten, and then shot.

Gondorff's young protege Jake Hooker attempts to pull a scam on wealthy "Countess Veronique, " who instead pulls one on him and turns out to be a grifter herself named Veronica. Coming up with a boxing con, Gondorff's goal is to sting both Lonnegan, the notorious banker and gangster who wants revenge from a previous con, and Gus Macalinski, a wealthy local racketeer. One or both of them is behind Kid Colors' death. Hooker pretends to be a boxer who is about to throw a big fight. Macalinski is not only hoodwinked into losing hundreds of thousands of dollars, but he is also talked into changing his original wager by Lonnegan.
