While you might get the script word perfect the effect can still be ruined by stereotypical casting.
Thank you for the advice - and point taken.
And if you can think of any other stories/tales, waiting to be told, please feel free to contact me.
I'm recently back from a meeting with producers in Los Angeles regarding a full 120 page thriller type screenplay, but to be honest, all they wanted to talk about was a remake of the 1955 film,
"The Cockleshell Heroes" - British history/gallantry is still very much a draw to some American producers.
