aellea Classic Movie Scripts

April 3, 2006

Scripts and Transcripts to Classic Movies (and others) made before 1970.

What is your source for the script of A Hard Day’s Night?

I wrote to the Oxford English Dictionary to request them to correct their attribution of the word “grotty” (currently credited to Burke who ghost-wrote the novelised version) to Alun Owen, who had famously coined the word for the film. OED wrote back asking for a published version of the script, preferably published earlier than Burke’s version. Can you point me to one? Your version has a credible ring to it, being substantially different from what was actually shot.

Excellent source of information. Perhaps, in the fortcoming days, I may have the chance of reading the scripts of “East Of Eden”, “Untamed”, “The Girl He Left Behind” and “Pajama Game”. Conguratulations. Oktay
