"E.C.U." (FORMERLY "THE INVESTIGATOR") A SCREENPLAY BY by Crichton, Michael:
Description
[Np]. 20 December 1971 - 30 April 1972.. [2],124 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript, printed on rectos only of a variety of colored papers. Bradbound in stenciled wrappers, with title revision in manuscript, and title lettered on spine. A "Second revised draft" of this very early original screenplay by Crichton, incorporating many leaves of revises spanning the period noted above. The film was released in 1973 as EXTREME CLOSE UP, under the direction of Jeannot Szwarc, but garnered little notice, even under the alternate rerelease title, SEX THROUGH A WINDOW. This film was released in the same year as WESTWORLD, the other film with a claim to being the first based on a Crichton script; precedence is unknown to this cataloguer. A little known undertaking from early in Crichton's Hollywood career, and a much less common script than that for its better known contemporary.
