The Screenwriter Film

Another fun find from digging around in film archives!

Here's a bonus for cinephiles, classic film history buffs, screenplay readers and screenwriters!

The Screen Writer

Running time: 9:16

This little gem of a mini documentary explains role of screenwriters during the old studio system era in Hollywood.  It includes some wonderful film clips, and lovely examples of the ultimate tool of writers past: the manual typewriter!

Enjoy!
