Long considered to be one of the best unproduced film scipts of the 1960s/70s “New Hollywood” movement. Warren Beatty tried to develop it into a film, to no avail. Screenwriter Robert Towne (CHINATOWN) called it a “revelation” and "the first contemporary screenplay I had read that just opened up the possibilities of everything that you could put into a screenplay in terms of language and the observations of contemporary life.”
Charles Eastman (1929-2009) was a large homosexual and brother of fellow screenwriter Carol Eastman (FIVE EASY PIECES). Two of Charles' produced scripts, LITTLE FAUSS & BIG HALSY and THE ALL-AMERICAN BOY, were published in paper and hardcover editions by Noonday in 1970, in the publisher’s vain attempt to support the notion that modern screenwriting is, in fact, literature, too.
