1967réf. 129268Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox 1967. Final Draft script for the 1968 film. Based on the 1966 novel by Roderick Thorp about a brooding detective who becomes embroiled in a case that uncovers a deep vein of police corruption within the department. Frank Sinatra's fourth collaboration with director Gordon Douglas a box office success. One of the first mainstream Hollywood films to include explicit depictions of the lives of gay men including the violence suffered by the gay community due to the indifference of the police. In 1979 Thorp wrote a sequel to "The Detective" entitled "Nothing Lasts Forever" adapted in 1988 as "Die Hard." Although Sinatra had contractual rights to star in the sequel he wisely turned it down due to his age and action movie history-and Bruce Willis' career-were made. Set in New York and shot on location in New York and in California. Light blue titled wrappers noted as Final and production No. 116 on the front wrapper dated August 17 1967. Title page present dated August 17 1967 noted as Final with credits for screenwriter Abby Mann and writer Roderick Thorp. 161 leaves with last page of text numbered 160.
