About This Item
Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox, 1989. First Revision Draft script for an unproduced film, with a copied "(1st) Revision" stamp on the titled page. OCLC locates three copies.
An early draft, dated "June 1989," written by screenwriters Nora Ephron and Alice Arlen (who had been previously nominated for an Academy Award for their screenplay for the 1983 Mike Nichols' film "Silkwood") about the passionate affair between the Pulizer Prize winning reporters Keyes Beech (Chicago Sun) and Maragite Higgins (New York Herald Tribune) during their time as correspondents during the Korean War. The promising screenplay bounced between three studios-Fox, United Artists, and New Line Cinema-between 1990 and 2000, and had repeatedly gone into pre-production, with Michelle Pfeiffer and Richard Gear originally reported to star, only to stall in production due to costs and logistical problems in re-creating the Korean War.
Yellow titled Twentieth Century-Fox wrappers, dated June 1989. Title page present, with a copied stamp of (1ST) REVISION, with credits for screenwriters Nora Ephron and Alice Arlen. 119 leaves, with last page of text numbered 118. Xerographic duplication, rectos only. Pages Near Fine, wrapper Very Good plus, bound with two gold brads.
