Description: A mimeographed screenplay with paper covers and autograph notes and additions; co-written by Christopher Isherwood and Robert Thoeren. "Rage in Heaven" was a noirish psychological thriller based on a novel by James Hilton (published in 1932), starring Robert Montgomery, Ingrid Bergman, and George Sanders. The film was directed by W.S. Van Dyke after the original director, Robert Sinclair, quit. Richard Thorpe was brought in to direct the retakes and this appears to be his shooting script. Also enclosed is a printed press campaign booklet (8 p.) for the film.
