I'm sure there will be many conflicting opinions of the man who collaborated with Elia Kazan on On The Waterfront, a great movie in many ways but at bottom an apologia for 'snitching' during the period of HUAC. I also read his novel The Disenchanted many years ago, based on his own experience as a young writer of his collaboration with F Scott Fitzgerald on a movie project in Hollywood. It follows the downward spiral of a once great writer who's seen better days and the bitter experience of a young writer witnessing his hero's demise. ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
