Scarce movie contract for an adaptation of Steinbeck's The Wayward Bus

DS, one page, 8.5 x 11, October 22, 1947.

Signed neatly at the conclusion in black ink by Steinbeck. In fine condition. A screen version of Steinbeck's novel, directed by Victor Vacas and starring Jayne Mansfield, Joan Collins, and Dan Dailey, was released in 1957.
