Film Version
Film rights were sold and initial plans called for a movie to be directed by Richard Lester and produced by Stanley Baker. Lester was unable to obtain financing for the project. He later hired Fraser to write the screenplay for The Three Musketeers (1973). The two of them worked together on Royal Flash (1975).

Famous quotes containing the words film and/or version:
“Perhaps our eyes are merely a blank film which is taken from us after our deaths to be developed elsewhere and screened as our life story in some infernal cinema or despatched as microfilm into the sidereal void.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
