1960WRCLIT41864New York: Film Projects Inc./ Ric Eyrich 1960. 196 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only. Bolt-bound in gilt-stamped stiff- card steno binder with small production logo label at lower corner of upper wrapper. Wrappers somewhat creased and used at overlap edges internally very good or better. Denoted a "Revised" draft. An original and evidently unproduced screenplay about life among working stiffs street-people and hustlers in New York.
