The play/film is exceptional, and so is the script, but this is a horribly deficient version as at least one key scene is missing. Where is the Alec Baldwin scene where he explains the facts of life to the salesmen??Jimmy (10 out of 10 )
not totally sure but i bet this is the script of the (original) play version. the alec baldwin scene was created for the film version, and the original play has a slightly different ordering of the scenes. still kicks butt in any case!Volo (6 out of 10 )
No Alec Baldwin scene? That's a major part of the movie.
Yikes. This copy of the script is incompletejesse (9 out of 10 )
Most movies really suck, this did not. Jack Lemmon is a real great player and so is Baldwin.Dennis (9 out of 10 )

There was no Alec Baldwin scene in the stage production. He wrote that part specifically for Alec.
I do agree that the film version is superior IMO.Adam (10 out of 10 )
If you've ever seen a good stage production of the play, you'd realize that the Alec Baldwin scene, while a crowd-pleaser, is wholly unnecessary - that's why it's not in the play. It doesn't advanced the plot, and it doesn't tell us anything about the characters that we don't either a) already know, or b) find out in short order.
The play's tighter and more economical, which makes it a better story. It just doesn't have the fireworks of "You see this watch? You see this watch?..."
