Is Harold Ramis the unsung hero of Ghostbusters?
Dan Aykroyd's original script for Ghostbusters was apparently very massive. He developed all the specifics about the traps technology and what exactly was inside the vault and how the ghost behaved there, etc. Basically, it was much more of a science fiction script (or depending on who you ask, more bloated, trippy, and insane), and he took his ideas very seriously. Harold Ramis took Aykroyd's script and streamlined it/made it more crackerjack.
