Description:
Hollywood: The Screen Writers' Guild, Inc, 1946. First edition. Rear page lightly toned from apparently being kept next to another acidic item; small ink check-mark to front, otherwise fine.. 8vo, 18pp pamphlet in printed self-wrappers, stapled. An offprint from the July 1946 issue of "The Screen Writer," this is Cain's presentation of his proposal for an organization to aid screenwriters in negotiating with producers and studios. The "Cain Plan", as it became known, was attacked as "communist" -- though Cain himself was never blacklisted, nor suspected of Communist ties. Still, the plan won admirers on the left and critics on the right and was ultimately abandoned. Only five copies of the offprint are located by OCLC.
