Existence of shooting scripts...

[Sir Bygber Brown]

Read in The Big Brass Ring that it was one of the only shooting scripts published... Wondering which of the other commercially available scripts are shooting not continuity scripts.

Hmmm. I think the Citizen Kane script in Kael's The Citizen Kane Book is the shooting script and not a cutting continuity based on the finished film. That's obviously the case with "The Cradle Will Rock" script as well, since it was never made. The "Touch of Evil' script and the "Chimes at Midnight" scripts in those Rutgers Films in Print series books are cutting continuities not actual scripts. I think that's also the case with the The Trial script that was published (though I'll have take another look at it to be sure). The shooting script of Touch of Evil is available from various script sellers in manuscript form.
