Striking Hollywood Writers Collaborate to Bring You

Raging Bull Durham

Robert DeNiro costars with Kevin Costner as a washed up boxer and a washed up baseball player, one who believes he coulda been a contender, and one who believes he coulda played for one. Surviving on a steady diet of cheeseburgers, Jake, the boxer, creates a moderately successful nightclub act: "Jake IS the Fatman".

My Fair Lady and the Tramp

A poor English flower girl and her mangy dog are taken in by a wealthy Rex Harrison and his spoiled dog "Lady". He makes a bet with his friend that he can teach both flower girl and street cur to pass themselves off as royalty. Hilarity ensues as the stuffy uppercrust meets the street naivete of both girl and dog, culminating in a rousing human/canine song and dance number "Get me to the Vet on Time".
