About This Item

From the estate of film producer Elliott Kastner, whose best known credits include "The Long Goodbye" (Robert Altman, 1973), "The Missouri Breaks" (Arthur Penn, 1976), and "Heat" (Michael Mann, 1996).
John Briley, Academy Award winning screenwriter for Richard Attenborough's 1982 epic "Gandhi," adapts his 1968 Vietnam War novel "The Traitors" (released in England in 1971 as "How Sleep the Brave.")
