Note that this movie was originally two competing productions from two different studios, Warner Bros. and 20th Century-Fox (based on two similar books, "The Tower" by Richard Martin Stern, and "The Glass Inferno" by Thomas N. Scortia), and the studios wisely chose to instead collaborate on a single movie, which resulted in a pretty amazing all-star cast, and one of the very best movies of its kind!

Important Added Info: Note that this script, which is contained in a 3-ring binder, is the fourth revised shooting final draft from May 6, 1974 and the screenplay was written by Stirling Silliphant. The name "Emile La Vigne" is on the cover of the script, and Emile LaVigne (one of Hollywood's top makeup artists) was one of the makeup artists for the movie, and this script was his personal copy. Included with the script are a number of his receipts, lists of makeup purchased for the movie, phone numbers of the crew, time cards, and there are notations about the makeup in several places in the script (including about O.J. Simpson, with a small sketch of his head) . Also note that there are a multitude of different colored revision pages from many different dates from between 5/17/74 and 6/19/74 (apparently this script was revised over and over, which must have driven the actors crazy!). In addition, it includes over 60 additional pages in front of the script, which give shooting locations for all the scenes, staff & crew lists, shooting schedule, phone numbers for the staff, and much more.
