Title: The Comancheros
Writer: Douglas Heyes
Studio: Twentieth Century Fox
Script Dated: March 23, 1961
This original movie script is from The Comancheros released in 1961, starring John Wayne. It is in very good overall condition with matching numbers on the cover and title page.

Texas Ranger Jake Cutter arrests gambler Paul Regret, but soon finds himself teamed with his prisoner in an undercover effort to defeat a band of renegade arms merchants and thieves known as Comancheros.

During much of the shooting, director Michael Curtiz was seriously ill (he died of cancer shortly after the film\'s release). On the days when Curtiz was too ill to work, John Wayne took over direction of the film, and when it was completed he told the studio that he did not want credit as co-director and insisted that Curtiz\' name alone appear as director.

When John Wayne signs the hotel register as \"McBain\", one of the names in the register is William H. Clothier, the film\'s director of photography.

The last film of veteran cowboy actor Guinn \'Big Boy\' Williams, who died shortly after its completion.

John Wayne\'s character, Ranger Capt. Jake Cutter, is called Big Jake. Wayne later played Jacob McCandles in Big Jake.

Paul Wellman wrote the novel with Cary Grant in mind as Paul Regret. However, by the time the film was made in 1961 Grant was too old for the part, and would never have taken second billing to John Wayne.

GOOF from the movie---- The guns used in the movie are Colt single action revolvers model 1873, Henry lever action rifle look-alikes model 1860, and Winchester lever action rifles model 1892. The only correct period guns used were the single-shot percussion-cap dueling pistols used in the opening scene.
