MEMO To: Turner and Hooch Team; From: Tom Hanks, December 5, 1988

 File — Box: 5, Folder: 5

Scope and Contents

I believe these notes were before Jim and I were actively involved in the project. They were probably notes that were addressed to everyone on the project and generated because we had just been brought in and Tom wanted to have some input. We were brought in during the last stages. The notes are interesting because they show what an actor is thinking about. It’s also interesting to note that although he had many good ideas, not all of them were included in the finished film. If all actors took this much interest in their movies and their roles, the entire level of filmmaking would move to a higher level. Hanks was great to work with a brought a tremendous amount of creative ideas to the project.
