http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/52218862

The collection consists of literary manuscripts, filmscripts, personal and professional correspondence, and some other material (including movie films, recordings and works of art) produced by or relating to Joseph Moncure March (1899-1977), Amherst College Class of 1920. Virtually all periods of his life are represented. There is a substantial amount of unpublished or un-filmed material, some of which is probably related to subsequent work titled differently. It should be noted that March was involved with the making of many films for which there is no script in this collection.
