Hi Margot, I’ve got a substitute for you and your husband that may be more appealing – “Raiders Of The Lost Ark” screenplay is here, and if you are interested, I also have a copy of notes from the story conference between Spielberg, Lucas and Kasdan as they hammered out how the story was going to work. If you are interested, just let me know and I can email it to you – very interesting behind the scenes look at how it all came together.

Mr. Hand – Ray Walston did a great job with it, I thought. My Favorite Martian was a little before my time; the first time I remember seeing him was in “The Sting” on video.

I’ve followed Cameron Crowe for a while, as I generally enjoy his screenplays and movies. Was funny how Eric Stoltz was in all of his movies, up until “Almost Famous” – couldn’t get their schedules worked out.

I can’t thank you enough for this first (for me) of reading a screenplay. It was so enjoyable to read and then to see it come alive on the screen. I want to do that with some of my other favorite movies. I’m glad I joined this challenge. Unfortunately, I cannot do it in October. I am too much of a wuss to do Silence of the Lambs. Scary books and scary movies and I do not go together. I’m sorry. I’ll be back in November.

This sure is a classic and I find myself watching it if I happen to find it on some random channel on a weekend. Just about a month ago I something come across my desk at work and it had a name on it with the last name of Hand. The first thing I thought of was Mr. Hand and I couldn’t stop laughing!

I loved recognizing all the cameos you mentioned. I didn’t realize this was based on a book and screenplay by Crowe. Obviously I didn’t do my homework!
