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:
“Film is more than the twentieth-century art. It’s another part of the twentieth-century mind. It’s the world seen from inside. We’ve come to a certain point in the history of film. If a thing can be filmed, the film is implied in the thing itself. This is where we are. The twentieth century is on film.... You have to ask yourself if there’s anything about us more important than the fact that we’re constantly on film, constantly watching ourselves.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
