Description:
Early Draft script (though noted as a "Final Draft screenplay") for the 1971 film dated two years prior to its release. The number "243" is annotated in faded holograph ink at the top right corner of the title page.
An important, slightly experimental X-rated comedy that is ground zero in the history early 1970s sexual climate in America, predicting the more conventional porn chic that would land with the release of "Deep Throat" the following year. The of a young woman who sets out to connect with the man behind an obscene phone call, encountering all manner of perversions along the way. The film featured an early role for Sarah Kennedy, Warholstars Ultra Violet, Ondine, and Geri Miller, and a young Jill Clayburgh.
Notably, as with films directed by John Cassavetes, much of the dialogue in the film that feels quite improvised turns out to have been written word for word in the script.
Set in New York City, and shot on location there.
