Apparently, a large portion of Joseph Minion’s screenplay for the Martin Scorsese movie After Hours was taken- without credit or permission- from “Lies,” a 1982 NPR Playhouse monologue by Joe Frank. (Incidentally, did you know that After Hours was originally intended to be Tim Burton’s feature directing debut? Burton graciously stepped aside when Scorsese, on the rebound after the cancellation of his 1983 attempt to film The Last Temptation of Christ (which he later filmed in 1988), needed a project he could bring to completion quickly.)
