Studios would send examples of their scripts to screenwriters who were members of the Motion Picture Academy, so that they would be more likely to vote for that screenplay to be nominated for the "Best Screenplay" Oscar. They would send actual photocopies of the scripts. They often say "FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION" on the front cover or on the title page. In the case of this script, "FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION" does not appear anywhere on this script (but we still think this script was sent by the studio to the screenwriting members of the Motion Picture Academy, and perhaps there was a separate cover letter with it explaining that, but if so, we don't have the cover letter). Note that this script was consigned to us directly from director/screenwriter Charles Shyer. Mr. Shyer is the director of many extremely popular movies from the 1970s to the present, many of which are romantic comedies, including House Calls, Private Benjamin, Baby Boom, remakes of Father of the Bride and The Parent Trap, and many others. Over the years, he collected scripts, which he received primarily in two different ways. He was friends with screenwriters, directors, and producers during those years, and they would sometimes send him scripts of their movies to get his opinion of them, and many of those are offered here. In addition, as a member of the screenwriter's branch of the Academy, he was sent many scripts where the producers hoped that their script would be nominated for a Best Screenwriting Academy Award, and many of these have "for your consideration" printed on the cover. This is a rare opportunity to purchase original scripts that come directly from the personal collection of a prominent director/screenwriter! Condition: very good. Note that we have photographed the cover of the script, the title page, the final page of the script (the one that reads "THE END"), and one or more interior pages. These images will not only provide important information about the script, but they also allow you to closely judge the condition of the script. The script is 100% complete!
