Sir Christopher Lee's personal annotated first draft script from the production of Guy Hamilton's Bond movie The Man With The Golden Gun. This lot comes from the personal collection of legendary actor Sir Christopher Lee. Bound in a yellow, windowed card cover with metal split pins, the first draft screenplay is credited to Richard Maibaum and is dated "January 7, 1974". The cover page features the production title and is autographed by Christopher Lee in black ink. The script consists of 152 pages printed single-sided on light blue US Letter paper, with additional white and bright orange revision pages. "Chris Lee" is written in pencil in the top-right corner of the first page and there are detailed annotations written by Lee throughout in blue and red ink, including notes to change some of Scaramanga's dialogue.

Accompanying the script is a 12-page shooting schedule dated "March 19, 1974". The cover page details the locations and a total amount of days they expected filming to take. The script and shooting schedule exhibit signs of production use and age, including folded corners, light creasing, wear around the page edges and several marks, notably on the script's card cover.
