We already link to the full contents of the Intercollegiate Review that essay is taken from, although it's not very obvious. Bowman's Last Days review is new to me though, so I've added it to the appropriate page. Thanks for the links.

Check his website, jamesbowman.net, for the Last Days review; and the following is a wonderful, encompassing essay -- http://www.mmisi.org/ir/35_02/bowman.pdf.

Can anyone help me find this? It's not on the DVD's I've seen since then.

Any draft will do that's earlier than the versions published in book form. I teach a college course called "The Screenplay as Literature," and I prefer having my students read early drafts that they can contrast with the final edited screen version. I'd love to add either Metropolitan or Barcelona to the reading list. Anyone know where I might find an early draft of Metropolitan or Barcelona?
