An unproduced and unpublished screenplay by Richard Yates. After Revolutionary Road in 1961 and Yates’ 1962 follow up collection of short stories, Eleven Kinds of Loneliness, Yates soon found himself beset with personal problems — and broke. His agent got him a job to write this World War II script for the Corman Company. It did not eventually get made (although Yates did, a few years later, manage to work on the screenplay for another produced WWII film, THE BRIDGE AT REMAGEN).
