‘[T]his is the Gold Standard of film writing’

Agreed (although not everyone does…)

What makes it excellent is that it is not only so carefully researched and thoughtfully developed, but it is written in such a way as to resemble the experience of watching a Marx Brothers movie.  The language is playful and deceptive, and the text is constantly invoking non-sequiturs, puns, and other forms of wordplay to provoke new readings and challenge old ideas.  It is a Marx Brothery take on the Marx Brothers.
