Earlier draft of the famous film, written by John Milius but with Coppola touches. Some of it seems more Milius than Coppola - the surfing stuff of course, but also a scene where the soldiers visit a French plantation and the opening scene where Willard is established post-war as a bodyguard for a rich wanker. Oh, and the Dennis Hopper part in the script is an Australian. And Kurtz is different. There's also a yucky sequence where the crew run into the dancing girls who have been stranded. Still, powerful stuff - even on the page.
