Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1964; elegant red leather covers, film title and star's initials embossed in gold-tone ink on spine, “Scoobie” embossed on front, goldenrod covers inside, dated “July 3, 1963,” screenplay by Sally Benson, 99 pages, with a few colored ‘script change’ pages throughout; gifted to the star by the film's director, George Sidney; the front free end page displays his lengthy handwritten inscription to her in red fountain pen ink reading in part “Dear Lady ”A" - \ …I wish you 3 things / Health, Happiness and Friendship / Always / G / October 1963."

Ann-Margret's nickname at this time was “Scoobie." One story says she made up the name for herself, while other accounts say co-star Elvis Presley coined it during the filming of “Viva Las Vegas.” In any case, the cute pet name stuck, and George Sidney even used it on this gift to her. Interestingly, Ann-Margret and Elvis Presley became forever associated with the city of Las Vegas after they made this movie, and the two legends spent much of their professional career there in the ensuing years.
