Description:
Draft script for the 1976 film "The Shaggy D.A.," seen here under the working title "Double Trouble." Copy belonging to actor Hank Jones, who played the role of Policeman #2, with his name to the front wrapper in black ink. The sequel to the 1959 film "The Shaggy Dog," based on the 1923 Felix Salten novel "The Hound of Florence."
An attempt to followup "The Shaggy Dog," Disney's most profitable film to date, "The Shaggy D.A." utilizes their successful "gimmick comedy" formula, in which elements of the supernatural intrude into everyday suburban life. In this case that means Dean Jones and Susan Pleshette are back, and Jones must again contend with turning into a large dog, this time while running for office, and having to prove that his political rival is connected to organized crime. Director Robert Stevenson's final film.
Set in the fictional town of Medfield.
