DS, four pages, 8.5 x 11, June 15, 1939. Agreement regarding Laughton’s performance in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, in which RKO Pictures agrees to post a $150,000 bond which will permit Laughton to return to England after finishing the film. Signed on the last page by Laughton. This 1939 version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame is considered by some reviewers to be the best of the many film versions of Victor Hugo’s classic novel, and perhaps the one that sticks closest to Hugo’s plot and intention although the ending differs. In fine condition, with staple holes to top edges. RRAuction COA.
