Draft script for the 1973 film. With a single notation to the title page in manuscript ink, indicating this copy is from Barry Levinson. Based on the 1955 novel "Le Blockhaus" by Jean-Paul Clebert, the story follows a mixed-group of forced laborers held by German forces taking shelter in a German bunker on D-Day. However, due to the heavy shelling, they are entombed in the blockhouse. Fortunately it is a storehouse as well so the prisoners have food to last them for years, but unfortunately they are permanently trapped in there. The film deals with how they lived in their underground prison and their eventual deaths. Set in Normandy, shot on location in Guernsey, Channel Islands.
