I have what may be an unsolvable problem. I am trying to locate an affordable/downloadable shooting script or final script for the 1954 motion picture, "Vera Cruz," starring Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster.

I remember a script, of some sort, for "Vera Cruz" was sold on eBay about two years ago. I attempted to acquire a copy from the buyer - without success.

Over the years myriad detailed searches online for a shooting script or final script - heck, I would take a continuity script - has found nothing.

Help me out here?

Whuddaya wanna trade for the script if I MIGHT come up with one ...??

Please identify which script you have available.

From the post's title, I thought it would be about arguing with a woman!

Give me an idea of the plot and I'll write one for you. I saw Cooper last week at Wal Mart.

Here's an idiot question for you, but is a shooting script the same thing as the screenplay?

Didn't find one, but you can watch it online here for free:

Not necessarily. "Screenplay" often refers to screenwriter's original work, plus drafts and revisions. "Shooting script" refers to that draft that becomes first distributed to cast and necessary production personnel. Having written that, shooting scripts are often revised during production. I understand Howard Hawks did this as a general rule while Alfred Hitchcock seldom altered his shooting scripts.

Revisions to draft scripts and revisions during production are color coded and marked with page number (additional marks when revisions are longer than what they replace; scene markings, etc., accompany revisions to shooting scripts).

Hope this responds to your question.
