5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Addition, August 23, 2010
By 
Bernard J. Pokorski "Son of a Singer Man" (Grass Valley, California United States) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Straight Story (Paperback)
This screenplay is a great addition to the movie, which is probabaly my very favorite movie of all time. The book contains scenes that were either left out of the movie during it's filming, or "wound up on the cutting room floor" during editing. That's a shame. I'm hoping that maybe someday Disney will produce DVD of the movie that includes these deleted scenes.

RIP, Richard Farnsworth, and May God Bless You.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good solid screenplay with a sense of soul., April 5, 2000
This review is from: The Straight Story (Paperback)
A simple clear blueprint for a great movie. Anyone interested in writing a screenplay should buy this book. Anyone interested in seeing a solid, classic American movie should see "The Straight Story". Its pretty amazing, every word in this screenplay is up there on the screen. It is heartening that in this age that Sweeney and Roach have dared to approach such a simple true story. David Lynch is to be commended for his taste in selecting this work to film.
