1965150580N.p.: Frank Capra Productions Inc 1965.

The script is 247 pages which would roughly amount to a four hour film.<br/><br/>In 1965 Capra was in negotiations to get the financing for Newman's adaptation of Martin Caidin's 1964 novel. Unfortunately the project was too ambitious and the cost too great to get the production off the ground even after Capra had heavy revisions made to the script. Columbia Pictures' producer M.J. Frankovich offered Capra $3 million to make the film requiring a downsizing of the project too great for Capra to accept prompting him to abandon the project.<br/><br/>Walter Newman is the acclaimed three time Academy Award nominated screenwriter of "Ace in the Hole" 1951 "Cat Ballou 1965 and "Bloodbrothers" 1978 as well as the uncredited screenwriter of "The Magnificent Seven" 1960 and "The Great Escape" both of which he renounced credit on after disputes with the same director John Sturges who would go on to direct "Marooned" in 1969 and perhaps not surprisingly abandon Newman's screenplay and hire screenwriter Mayo Simon. Newman is perhaps best known for his unproduced 1970 screenplay "Harrow Alley" called by some "the greatest screenplay never made" a 172 page macabre story of the Great Plague in mediaeval England and is regularly taught in film writing classes and has for years as recently as 2018 been rumored to be in production.<br/><br/>A film adaptation of Caidin's novel was made in 1969 by director John Sturges with a screenplay by Mayo Simon and starring Gregory Peck Richard Crenna David Janssen and Gene Hackman.<br/><br/>Three astronauts after spending months in orbit prepare to return to earth only to find the rocket boosters won't fire and their oxygen levels declining.<br/><br/>Blue titled wrappers noted as SECOND DRAFT on the front wrapper dated APRIL 14 1965.
