From an award-winning 1970s period piece drama… We don’t know what type of award, but going with Oscars we’ve got: Patton - historical, so no fictional characters Godfather - based on novel, series of films The Sting - Maybe, don’t remember any character names. Vaguely remember a lawsuit about the story being close to a non-fiction book Cuckoo’s Nest - novel Deer Hunter — Maybe. Again, I don’t remember any character’s names. I am officially stumped and give up my “Firstname Lastname” question to whoever wants it. ---
