Collection

Identifier: MSS 0099-F0937

Staff Only

Scope and Content Note

A mechanically reproduced typescript of Neil Simon's second draft of his screenplay, Murder by Death, which has laid in three shooting call sheets.

The typescript includes twelve pages of revisions which, though inserted at the end, are meant to replace pages in the main body of the script. These pages of revision are in addition to the blue sheets of revisions which appear throughout the script and are labeled by stage of revision (first through fourth) and dated. The script is brad-bound in gray production company wrappers which are stenciled with the title, "second draft," the date (July 7, 1975), and "property of Rastar Films."

All three of the Columbia Pictures shooting calls bear holograph check marks, notes, or changes. Of the three shooting call sheets, two are dated October 20, 1975, and one is dated October 24, 1975.
