It's kind of a bummer that the legendary Stephen Sondheim and the iconic Anthony Perkins only worked together on a film like this once. Their mutual love of puzzles and scavenger hunts (created for friends over the years) led them to write the screenplay for The Last of Sheila (1973), encouraged by producer/director Herbert Ross, who ended up directing the film. In truth, two other collaborations existed at one point in the years after Sheila, but neither ended up being made.
