This is an idea that has never fully “blossomed.” I found these pictures in an antique store years and years ago, and I knew I had to have them. They were lost at my Mother’s house only to be rediscovered when she moved. When I saw them again I was astounded–they are costume drawings, or at least to me they are. Curiously, I only seem to want to work on this project in that narrow window between Christmas and Valentine’s Day, and I always have to buy a small pot of flowers to put on my desk when I work. My best friend Brenda has written the melody line and lyrics for most of the film–it screams to be a musical. Here is the preliminary treatment. Maybe someday I will finish it.
