“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?
