Contains two variant scripts for the film, both dated May 9th, 1989. One includes a series of revisions through May 22nd 1989, and the other includes revisions through June 20 of the same year. This film concerns a year in the life of third-year medical students in Los Angeles, and was directed by Marissa Silver--one of the few women in the 1980s to direct a feature film. Silver is the daughter of Joan Micklin Silver, a groundbreaking director of the 1970s. Marissa Silver's career inclided both film directing and novel authoring, and both of these women are notable figures in the breaking down of Hollywood barriers toward female directors.
