Change of Habit schedule/ script?
Paging Dr. Carpenter (about your own movie lol) or to anyone here.
Was wondering, as here, parts of the Change of Habit script and filming schedule were posted here- https://www.elvis-collectors.com/change-of-habit-t10487.html
Does anyone know if there are more photos of them out there or where? Guessing those pics came from when the script went on auction with a bunch of other scripts.
I ended up buying the Change of Habit FTD book, which mentioned first day of filming was with Elvis and the pregnant woman, and then "See page 19 of Richard Morris's original screenplay of A Change of Habit dated March 12th 1968.) Unsure where to find that.
I figure there's bound to be more info somewhere from someone that was there.. and the scripts were changed multiple times, extra dialogue. Big fan of the movie and been researching, trying to find everything out about it.
Appreciate the help!!

Re: Change of Habit schedule/ script?
Thank you Colonel!! To be more specific, was hoping if there were more photos of the shooting call forms and the actual script (not the cover)
Like for example, seems like more dialogue might’ve been said here after the doctor takes Barbara out of the market.
But the extra info is great; planning to visit the locations someday.

For this movie there’s not much circulating of your interests; I don’t collect photo’s – posters.
I can add for you the musical breakdown. The recording and overdub session for the movie was 2-3 september 1969.

For dialogue from the script you can take a look on this site:
https://subslikescript.com/movie/Change_of_Habit-65537
Scripts in this way is not my cup of tea.

BLOOPER
In the film's opening credits, a sign on the side of a bus advertised KDAY Radio, a Los Angeles station.
The film was set in New York City.
