I spoke to Diane Baker about her performance in Strait-Jacket.  She shrugged it off. When I told Miss Baker I was writing a novel and was listening to dialog from movies, she asked me if it was a screenplay.

Over the course of several tutoring sessions, my brilliant student, Alexander, wrote a screenplay with characters, plot, and some dialog. It is titled, You Only Live Ten Times, and it is full of dangerous action near Area 51.

An FBI agent chases an alien who is trying to obtain plans for a new nuclear weapon. The agent kills the alien ten times, but he miraculously returns to life each time.
