About This Item

Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox, 1972. Draft script for the 1974 heist film. Art Director Al Brenner's working copy, with his name in manuscript ink on the front wrapper, and his annotations throughout and on the rear wrapper.

Based on the 1972 novel by Donald Westlake. One of the more creative caper comedies from the rich vein of crime films made in the 1970s, wherein a bank temporarily being housed in a mobile home begins to look appealing to a crew of ex-cons. Very much a sister film to the 1972 adaptation of Westlake's "The Hot Rock."

Yellow titled wrappers, rubber-stamped No. 40, showing the film's title and "Landers/Roberts Productions on the front wrapper. Title page present, dated August 27, 1973, with a credit for screenwriter Wendell Mayes. 115 pages, principal pages on white stock, with pink revision pages throughout, all dated 9/6/73. Pages and wrapper Very Good or better, bound with two gold brads.

Lee, p. 116.
