Now, for the first time, the shooting script (written before the film was shot) and the continuity script (the elements contained in the finished film) have been combined into one critical edition. This edition also features a critical analysis drawn from interviews with Robert Wise, Harry Belafonte and Abraham Polonsky in which they discuss the film's status within African-American-related cinema, the adaptation from William McGivern's novel and the critically celebrated jazz score by John Lewis of the Modern Jazz Quartet.<P>One of the finest examples of screenwriting at its most provocative and passionate, this edition of Odds Against Tomorrow belongs in the library of every serious film lover and student of the American experience.
