Rauner holds a collection of film scripts that was established in memory of Hollywood producer Irving Thalberg. Started in 1937 with a donation by Walter Wagner, the collection has grown to almost 2500 items. One of these scripts is from Cecille B. DeMille's 1938 version of
The Buccaneer, which starred Fredric March and Franciska Gaal. The copy held by Rauner was presented to the library by DeMille and includes the cast list which is partially handwritten and shows several substitutions for various roles. Also included in the script are numerous film frames laid in next to the relevant dialog. The frame here is from "Sequence B."
