GEORGE NADER - JOE BUTTERFLY - 1956 - FIRST DRAFT

Here is another of George Nader's Scripts.  It is full of his notes to himself and for the Charactor he portrays.  There are many of them.  A wonderful piece to any collection!   One of George Nader's trademarks was when he finished filming a page of the script, he would fold it in half.  I left them that way rather than unfold them. A lot of the pages might appeared to be wrinkled, they are, and that would be from the constant going over them to memorize lines and action.

SYNOPSIS:

The staff of "Yank" magazine are among the first American troops into Tokyo after the Japanese surrender. Their mission: produce an issue of the magazine...in three days. To accomplish the seeming impossible, they reluctantly enlist the aid of black marketeer and arch-conniver Joe Butterfly, who sets them up in a palatial private mansion, complete with lovely daughter -- strictly against regulations. How much trouble can our heroes talk their way out of? Written by Rod Crawford {puffinus@u.washington.edu}
