The most expensive screenplay ever paid for?


" IMDB Trivia: This script sold for $300,000 which was the highest amount ever paid for a script at the time. "

That's pretty cool. The script wasn't that brilliant, although the talent behind it was probably expensive at the time. The Schrader brothers AND Robert Towne.

Somthing tells me it was brilliant and Towne's rewrite took away its balls. He added the whole love story. Why the *beep* back then did every film have to have a love story.
