November 13 1981 

THE PURSUIT OF D.B.COOPER opens. Written by Jeffrey Allen Fiskin, with uncredited input from W.D.Richter and Ron Shelton. After creative differences prompt original directors John Frankenheimer and Buzz Kulik to bail, 70% of existing film is reshot by new director Roger Spottiswode. Robert Duvall & Treat Williams star in little seen curio positing speculative addendum to 1971's unsolved parachuting hijacker/extortioner mystery.
