1970ref. 153149N.p.: N.p. 1970. Second Draft script for the 1974 film. In 1969 Julian Barry was hired by Columbia Pictures to write the screenplay for a dramatic biographical account of comedian Lenny Bruce's life. Shortly thereafter the project was delayed reportedly due to studios' demand for romances as a result of Arthur Hiller's successful 1970 romantic drama "Love Story" leading Barry to approach theatre director Tom O'Horgan about adapting the screenplay for the stage. The play was a success running on Broadway from May 1971 to June 1972 and earning its lead Cliff Gorman a Tony Award in 1972. The finished film completed two years later was Bob Fosse's third directorial effort and first non-musical with standout performances by Dustin Hoffman as Bruce and Valerie Perrine as his wife Honey. A tour de force shot in black and white in a documentary style interspersed with interviews jumping back and forth from Bruce's early rise to fame to his twilight days and eventual death.
