Summary
Acknowledging receipt of the Walter Marks script for "The Wild Party" and the original poem by Joseph Moncure March; providing a long, detailed, thoughtful analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of both properties; suggesting that George Trow be brought in to work on the project as well-- "Don't these films always have about half a dozen writers?"; asking about the musical aspect of the project; pointing out what she sees as the most important aspect of the project: "the recreation of the 1929 party."
