I am well aware that this hardly qualifies as a "cinematography" question, but I thought there might be a person on the site who had an answer. I am extremely interested in seeing the screenplay for Orson Welles' 1973 film "F is For Fake". There are a number of sequences in the movie that were crafted with such a specific and rapid back and forth style that made me curious as to how these ideas were articulated and expressed on the page. Thus far online I have only been able to find the film's transcript, no screenplay. Let me know. Thanks.

Some of you are directors, and I was wondering what do you think about camera-angle directions, transitions, and similar devices in scripts? I have read countless times that it is a huge no-no, especially in spect scripts, but recently bumped onto a tip by John August and Craig Mazin, of Scriptnotes: 1. "Don't write directions in your screenplay" is bad advice. Do directors really mind? Or, in reality, actually like it, as Mazin and August say?
