Title:
The Long Goodbye (Original screenplay for the 1973 film)
Publication:
Beverly Hills, CA: E-K-Corporation / United Artists, 1971
Description:
First draft script for the 1973 film, written nine months before the production began.
From the estate of film producer Elliott Kastner, whose best known credits include "The Missouri Breaks" (Arthur Penn, 1976), and "Heat" (Michael Mann, 1996).
Based on Chandler's 1953 novel, the sixth and penultimate Philip Marlowe book. Screenwriter Leigh Brackett, who also co-wrote the screenplay for "The Big Sleep" (1946), updated not just the setting from the 1950s to the 1970s, but the attitudes, themes, and relationships as well. The result was less of a straight adaptation than it was a satire of the traditional detective story, a New Hollywood classic.
Shot on location in Los Angeles, Malibu, Hollywood, and Mexico
