[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Probably the only thing that "masterpiece" movie got right was Clyde's difficulty in "getting it up",

There was a book I read many, many years ago called, "Monkey on My Back" written by an ex-con whose last name I can not recall but I think his first name was Jack.

Jack had served time with Clyde and claimed that he (Clyde) was sold as a "girlfriend" to another con for two cartons of cigarettes. If true that might explain Clyde's little problem.

I’m not sure, but I think that was the story of Barney Ross who was a former lightweight boxing champion. He went to the service where he was injured, became a dope addict, and was sent to prison.

I could be totally wrong, but I saw a movie called Monkey On My Back years ago, and it was the story of Barney Ross.
