Bullets Over Broadway

Last Woody film I truly enjoyed.
David: You thought my first draft was cerebral and tepid?
Helen: Only the plot and the dialogue. But this...
David: Was there nothing in the original draft that you feel was worth saving?
Helen: The stage directions were lucid. Best I've ever seen... and the color of the binder. Good choice.
David: Thank you. I've always had a flair for stage directions.
