Long thought lost, a pretty good print of Harry Hurwitz & Lorees Yerby’s Richard (1972). Richard M. Dixon as 37th Prez. Mickey Rooney as his guardian angel. Dan Resin as young Nixon. Paul Ford & Kevin McCarthy as doctors. John Carradine as plastic surgeon. https://t.co/4kmLLWaXJA
@geraldposner@trishaposner Ok @KenKurson how about getting a bookstore open in MB? Call it Bob Gottlieb Memorial Books/Libros after the burg’s second most famous literary figure after Damon Runyon
@StoliarSteve The “curated” bit is ridiculous. Put together two dozen books about movies and Hollywood that happen to have jackets with a black background and call that “curated?” sheesh
@spiccarella@darwin8u HBO did get rights to A Frolic Of His Own - Gaddis was compensated poorly but it didn’t stop the IRS from breathing down his neck in his last years - but I never heard about this

Cisco Kid (ie Duncan Renaldo) was no friend of mine but he’s in this murky, noisy, very late pre-Code pic, starring Sally O’Neil and directed by the man who helmed the late Ted Turner’s second favorite movie, General Spanky: https://t.co/Dlhw8CGpEd
@eric_weinberger@GDess Blake’s planned Salter biography as he acknowledges is 110% unauthorized and Salter’s widow, reportedly, has phoned people up telling them not to talk to him. But let me ask you: if you’ve read Meyers’ biography was it authorized by the Salter estate?
@sonnysehra Besides the daughter Harumi also has a son in New Jersey and a wife - I think his widow. A UK retired teacher has been at work on a book or article about him for years
