GEORGE NADER - JOE BUTTERFLY - 1956 - FINAL 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.   This paticular script is its own binder.

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}
