Comment
The handwritten descriptions and notes are from David Flaherty. The abbreviation "Com Hut" in the Location field stands for "Community Hut"; "f.p." in the Action and Costume Details fields stand for "frangipani." The sketch on the left under the handwritten take number in the upper third of the page shows the position of the actors to the camera; the drawing along the lower margin represents Anna seated. The authorship of neither drawing cannot be cleared intentified.
