PAPER BACK YELLOW. Condition: Very Good-. Shooting script August 21,1981. Produced by Steven Spielberg & Kathleen Kennedy and directed by Steven Spielberg. Big metal staple binding. The film began shooting in September 1981, filming under the cover name A Boy's Life, as Spielberg did not want anyone to discover and plagiarize the plot. The actors had to agree to read the script behind closed doors, and everyone on set had to wear an ID card. General wear good condition . No bookplate, tiny amount of pencil writing on FEP (the size of a postage stamp). 113 pages, original printed wrappers, closed with three brass brads. A copy of the shooting script, dated Aug 21, 1981, but a reproduction of an original (originals are known to have the revision pages on colored paper which are not here nor are the their colored watermark stamps characteristic of Spielberg/Lucas scripts). Still a fully reproduced example of the original working script for the classic film. The film was shot mostly in cronological order to produce as convincing an emotional development as possible. The shoot completed in 61 days (4 days ahead of schedule). The film won four Oscars, and was nominated for Best Picture. DATE PUBLISHED: 1981 EDITION: 113.
