Burbank, CA: Warner Brothers, 1982. Revised Draft script for the 1983 film.

The third of four films pairing director Carl Reiner and comedian Steve Martin that established Martin's film career. Here he plays a quirky doctor who instigates a comedy of errors after operating on a woman whom he injures in a car accident. Though not as popular as their first pairing, the unarguable classic 1979 film "The Jerk," "The Man with Two Brains" nevertheless remains a minor comic gem.

Set in the United States and Vienna, shot on location in California.
