“Across the Wide Missouri” needs a script
Thanks to the powers that be, I have a copy of “Across the Wide Missouri“, the famous Hollywood movie with lots of Chinuk Wawa dialogue and a weirdly ingratiating Clark Gable.
It would be a fun language teaching tool to share clips of it with people, showing the Jargon in writing.
I’ve just started fooling with Windows Movie Maker, which can snip clips.
But I was hoping the script would be findable somewhere, to make the rest of the job easier.
Scant joy when I search around the internet. There’s this site with a transcript, but it may have been done by Turkish speakers using voice-recognition software! And it only contains the English dialogue, none of the Chinook Jargon or French. So, y’know.
Anyone know where else to look for “official” versions of old Hollywood scripts?
