Description: Shooting script for the 1975 film. INSCRIBED on the first leaf by renowned character actor Lance Henriksen: Eddie! In the film Henriksen plays Officer Murphy, the policeman hired to drive the film's doomed protagonists to Kennedy Airport. Shooting for the film took place between September 1974 and November 1974, according to the AFI Catalog, and we date this script to late October or early November based on other drafts we have seen.

Based on the 1974 novel by Patrick Mann, in turn based on a true story published in "Life" magazine. An inexperienced robber and his friend attempt to rob a bank, largely in order for the robber's girlfriend, a preoperative transgender woman, to afford gender confirmation surgery. Director Sidney Lumet's masterpiece, a snapshot of New York invoking queer politics, city politics, police politics, personal politics, and the mood of a city in the heat of the early 1970s-all without being overtly political.
