How much could Frankenheimer have changed?


My point is that, it seems what we see in the film is what would have been there with Richard anyway.

Frankenheimer changed a lot of things.I read that one of his conditions for taking over the direction was that he be allowed to rewrite the script, and the chaotic shoot further complicated matters.Richard Stanley's original script is significantly different (to say nothing of better)to what eventually wound up on screen, you can download a PDF of it here: http://www.everythingisundercontrol.org/nagtloper/write/wr_index.php
