![]() Tell you how GIMCP was written BJ. Bob was approached by Charlie Scribner. Scribner told Bob he had a great story to tell and handed Scotty a bunch of those cylinder things for the talking machines and locked Bob in a room at the Waldorf in New York. Bob wrote the whole damn story in one weekend locked in that room! Then Jack Warner got in on it and the rest is history. A funny aside to all this is that Warner Bros hired Richard Loo, the great Asian actor to do the Tokyo Joe "ace" part in the picture and Bob has spent the rest of his life on the lecture circuit telling people that he didn't ACTUALLY shoot down Tokyo Joe!! :-)) Dudley Sadly, it seems that much of the average American's knowledge of history is gained via the silver screen. Ever since I was 10 or 11 and saw a blatant historical error in a movie, it's ****ed me off when I think that someone got paid mega bucks to create an enduring version of history that any literate person would know is false. -- Jeff 'The Wizard of Draws' Bucchino "Cartoons with a Touch of Magic" http://www.wizardofdraws.com http://www.cartoonclipart.com |
