Darryl F. Zanuck

The Darryl F. Zanuck contracts and ephemera span the years 1937–1971 and encompass 0.4 linear foot. The collection contains six general files: a 1971 appointment book; a cumulative file of contracts between 20th Century-Fox and Zanuck from the early 1960s, with photostats of contract summaries from 1949 to 1964; several letters, including a memo from Harry Brand assuring his vigilance with regard to Zanuck's personal credit on Dragonwyck (1946); two late 1940s 20th Century-Fox company directories; miscellany; and photostats of artwork for the opening titles of One World (unrealized), an adaptation of a Wendell Willkie book. Several disc recordings contain radio programs on which Zanuck was a guest.
