Revised Estimating script for the 1960 film belonging to actor Martin Landau, here under the working title "The Life and Death of Legs Diamond." Laid in are five carbon typescript pages of script with Landau's name written in manuscript ink to upper right and annotations to dialogue of lead character Legs in manuscript pencil. Landau was considered for the lead role of Jack "Legs" Diamond, which from the laid in pages, we can reasonably assume were for an audition for the part. Ray Danton was ultimately cast as Legs, and Landau does not appear in the film. From the estate of Martin Landau. Jack "Legs" Diamond (Ray Danton) and his sickly brother Eddie (Warren Oates) move to New York City, and after a brief incarceration, sets their eyes on taking over kingpin mobster Arnold Rothstein's (Robert Lowery) criminal businesses.
