Robert Mulligan directed the Fall 1978 release, starring Paul Sorvino, Richard Gere, Tony Lo Bianco, et al. Marcus's screenplay was nominated for both Academy and WGA awards. Newman had a distinguished career as screen and television writer going back to the 1950s, with credits on THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM, CAT BALLOU, and uncredited work on THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN. In 1986, with THE COLOR OF MONEY (for which he received an Oscar nomination), Price emerged in his own right as a significant screen and television writer.
