Film, TV or Theatrical Adaptations
The novel was loosely adapted into a comedy film starring Chevy Chase as the main character, Fletch (1985), with considerable changes along the way.
Another film, Fletch Lives (1989), used an original story instead of adapting one of McDonald's novels. A new movie, Fletch Won, is still in pre-production as of 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word theatrical:
“But then in novels the most indifferent hero comes out right at last. Some god comes out of a theatrical cloud and leaves the poor devil ten thousand-a-year and a title.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
