FYI: Jonathan Latimer wrote a terrific script for Red Harvest (I think in 1941) which should be on file at Paramount as an unproduced property. It is my impression that the equally wonderful script by Marilyn Gulden (the flower girl in The Conformist!), is perhaps influenced by this earlier version. This late 70s (?) script was written for Bernardo Bertolucci (to be produced by Alberto Grimaldi, to star Jack Nicholson), as announced in Variety, never materialized, apparently because of ecalating costs. Given the nature of the subject matter, Bertolucci and Nicholson, at opposite ends of the emotional spectrum, could have created a landmark film like Chinatown, and I guess that's what we mean by the one that got away. But even the script history of this great roman noir deserves to be studied and taught! ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message. Problems?
