Abstract:
Correspondence, legal documents, and miscellany that trace the ownership rights to the story and motion picture Algiers (a 1938 remake of Pépé le Moko also remade in 1948 as Casbah) and its foreign and television distribution. The file consists primarily of correspondence and legal documents although miscellany are also included. Of interest is a 1938 letter from the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America in which the Algiers script was reviewed; given the story's emphasis on sex and prostitution, the script was not accepted and specific changes were suggested.

Note:

Forms part of the United Artists Corporation collection.
