Elliott Kastner (1930-2010) was a larger-than-life American film producer, whose best-known credits include Where Eagles Dare and The Long Goodbye. This original 1969 typed screenplay script of William Goldman’s adaptation of his 1967 novel The Thing Of It Is comes from Kastner’s film production archive. Robert Redford had expressed an interest in playing the main lead but  Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid then came out and Redford turned into a major star, pulling out of the project. The film remained unmade and Goldman recounted the experience in his book Adventures in the Screen Trade.

Screenplay script dated September 1969 to front, titled, ‘Screenplay by William Goldman from his novel. Songs and other musical moments by Stephen Sondheim’. Bound to spine using 2 metal pins. 172 pp. unannotated. In very good condition.
