Worth it for the still pictures alone.
The RKO Classic Screenplays series is a must for any serious videophile. These books separate the video into its basic constituencies and allow one to understand what the subliminal shots are supposed to portray. Even the background sounds are described.
This particular book has an introduction telling of the environment and time in which the film was made. They point out that this is not a typical film of the time and shows the depth of character in both strengths and weaknesses. There is a cast list and credits. Being a screenplay the focus is more on the movie and its impact. The book fades out as the movie fades out.
More than just a reference you will become intrigued as you are reading.
