Scope and content:

(Twentieth Century-Fox, not yet produced)

β€œThis is an epic naval story of the biggest sea battle of World War II, and in preparing it I did a great deal of research, both in the Defense Department in Washington and also with the Commanders of the Japan Self Defense force in tokyo. I have the entire file of material on this project, from my original plan for the screenplay based on C.S. Forester's account straight through to the revised final script., in addition to much research material. This represents an unusually complete package and would give the student a good view of the preparation of a highly technical subject, from inception through research to the final script.”
