138357First Draft script for the 1972 film. A very early version written by Charles Grodin who would go uncredited on the final film. <br/><br/>A comedy that is pretty difficult to overestimate: even though it was not directed by Woody Allen it was the template for the many great films he would subsequently write and direct in the 1970s in terms of shooting style timing romantic themes and the actors involved the irrepressible trio of Allen Keaton and Roberts. Allen had already directed two films at this point "Take the Money and Run" and "Bananas" but this film is significant in that it predicted the more substantive romantic comedies that would later place him among the most important filmmakers of his era notably "Annie Hall" 1977 and "Manhattan" 1979. <br/><br/>Goldenrod titled wrappers noted as first draft screenplay on the front wrappernoted as FIRST DRAFT SCREENPLAY at the bottom right and with a credit for Twentieth Century-Fox at the top center and the logo for APJAC Productions at the bottom center.
