Pennies from Heaven (Original screenplay for the 1981 film)

Beverly Hills, CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM], 1980. Revised Final Draft for the 1981 film. Copy belonging to an unknown crew member, with their name in manuscript pencil annotation on the front wrapper.

One of Steve Martin's earliest and most bizarre critical successes and, along with "The Singing Detective" (1986), the work for which the late Dennis Potter is best remembered. Potter's trademark dark sensibilities permeate the film's mood, punctuated by wildly complex, choreographed musical numbers. Nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Screenplay.

Set in Illinois.
