(Applause Books). The Film Scripts series bring back into print some of the greatest screenplays ever written. The series is a reissue of four volumes originally edited by George P. Garrett. Each volume contains three classic shooting scripts written by some of the finest writers to ever work in Hollywood, including William Faulkner ( The Big Sleep ), Tennessee Williams ( A Streetcar Named Desire ), and Gore Vidal ( The Best Man ). Each volume runs close to 500 pages and contains a highly informative introduction, a glossary of technical terms, an extensive bibliography, and the credits for each film. These enduring screenplays will be of great interest to the general film buff, the aspiring screenwriter, and the professional filmmaker. Of particular value to the screenwriter and filmmaker is the fact that all scripts are printed in standard screenplay format.
