Such a marvellous script - the magic is there on the page. Some scenes didn't make the final cut - an encounter with his wife and her new husband, a sleazy doctor gives Dorothy a physical, Sandy brings him some food. Also the bits in the film which I felt didn't quite work don't work on the page either e.g. the farm sequence which feels it goes on too long. Lots of montages, a few farcical set pieces. But terrific first half and solid ending, great characters. Not a perfect script but pretty awesome and obviously written by people who really know and love actors.
