Dylan Thomas signs on with British National Films for a screen adaptation of 'No Room at the Inn'

DS, two pages, 8 x 13, October 13, 1947. Agreement between British National Films Limited and Dylan Thomas for "two screen plays commencing with the subject 'No Room at the Inn'…The writer shall receive by way of fee the sum of Five Hundred Pounds (£500) for each scenario." Signed at the conclusion in fountain pen by Dylan Thomas, penning his name over an affixed revenue stamp. In fine condition, with light creasing toward the bottom.

Thomas's two screenplays under this contract were No Room at the Inn—an adaptation of a 1945 play by Joan Temple—and The Three Weird Sisters, based on Charlotte Armstrong's 1943 novel The Case of the Weird Sisters. Both were produced by British National Films in 1948.
