Important Added Info: Note that this screenplay was written by Danny Strong. Studios would send examples of their scripts to screenwriters who were members of the Motion Picture Academy, so that they would be more likely to vote for that screenplay to be nominated for the "Best Screenplay" Oscar. They used to send actual regular scripts, but in recent years, they have switched to creating small professionally bound versions of the scripts that measure 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", and resemble softcover books. They often say "FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION" on the front or back cover, but sometimes this is not anywhere on the script (but in those cases, we still think they were sent by the studio to the screenwriting members of the Motion Picture Academy). Note that this script was consigned to us directly from director/screenwriter Charles Shyer. Mr. Shyer is the director of many extremely popular movies from the 1970s to the present, many of which are romantic comedies, including House Calls, Private Benjamin, Baby Boom, remakes of Father of the Bride and The Parent Trap, and many others. Over the years, he collected scripts, which he received primarily in two different ways. He was friends with screenwriters, directors, and producers during those years, and they would sometimes send him scripts of their movies to get his opinion of them, and many of those are offered here. In addition, as a member of the screenwriter's branch of the Academy, he was sent many scripts where the producers hoped that their script would be nominated for a Best Screenwriting Academy Award, and many of these have "for your consideration" printed on the cover. This is a rare opportunity to purchase original scripts that come directly from the personal collection of a prominent director/screenwriter! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
