  1. Peter, this entry will not open on my ancient computer.

    Would you please send it to me via Google mail?

    Thanks.

    1. Got it – very well done, excellent review. Have to wonder, considering film is a collaborative art, how much the weaker or unsuccessful screenplays owe to a weaker hand by the director, either in insisting on revisions or working around them. I can imagine a Welles, e.g, using one as a starting point rather than a sacred text, a loved stage play, and, from your description, Trumbo just washing his hands of it anxious to move on to the next payday.
