Did You Know?

Personal Quote:

[on film versions of his work] I don't remember all the bad ones. I know 'The Big Bounce' was bad though, and they made it twice, It wasn't bad enough the first time. I don't think anybody in the picture knew what they were doing. The second time they made it, they shot it in Hawaii. They would cut to surfers when they ran out of ideas. See more »

Trademark:
