- First draft of the script by 'Deborah Dean Davis' (qv) was never read by
director 'Andy Tennant' (qv). Second writer 'Jeff Schecter' (qv)'s draft made
this a ``go'' picture with [?] Rysher. Tennant was hired, and offered help
for the pictures problems. He and his writing partner, 'Rick Parks' (qv)
rewrote Schecter's draft. Tennant and Parks were re-written by producers [?]
Orr and [?] Cruickshank. The studio preffered Tennant and Parks' draft with

extreme circumstances. Davis' dialogue never appears on screen.
