Keep on talking Leni. Very interesting. Maybe a book some day is in your future. Would be good reading. I would be the first to buy.

Splicing the films together was a terrible idea. The flashbacks in the second film form a counterpoint to the contemporary scenes and the two comment on each other. Splicing them chronologically renders the whole thing into a TV miniseries style soap.

Agreed.

I've never seen the Gone With the Wind sequel and I really was not aware there was one. Thanks for the warning, I'll steer clear of it.

In regard to remakes have you seen the remake of Rollerball? It is God awful. They ruined Rollerball.

Frankly, it sounds like a terribly lonely life. The mobsters, that is.

Well dressed and manicured, most of the mobsters were short and homely like heavy-lidded frogs, had heavy accents, were totally uneducated, had bad complexions and dead eyes. As conversationalists, they were complete duds

Interesting. I'd love to read your book, but would counsel you not to write it.....either the mob or the FBI might decide to fit you for concrete galloushes.
