N.p.: N.p., 1998. Revised Production Draft script for the 2001 film. Copy belonging to New York production coordinator Shelley Houis, with her annotations in manuscript ink and pencil on the title page and the verso of the final leaf. Script laid into a production binder belonging to Houis, containing approximately 85 pages of production documents, primarily cast and crew contact lists.

An unfaithfully married architect attempts to balance his prosperous career with the demands of his wife and his mistress. The first film to pair Warren Beatty and Diane Keaton since "Reds" (1981).

An infamously troubled production, one of the biggest box office flops in American film history, enduring reshoots in 2000, two years after principal shooting and after an extensive rewrite by Buck Henry. In the end it grossed a little over $10 million worldwide on a $150 million budget.

Set in New York, Mississippi, California, and Idaho, shot on location in New York, California, and Idaho.

Title page integral with front wrapper, dated 1-26-98, noted as Revised Production Draft, with credit for screenwriter Michael Laughlin. 125 leaves, with last page of text numbered 124. Xerographic duplication, rectos only. Pages Very Good plus, bound with two gold brads.
