    This is really interesting Robin. I enjoyed reading about a great talent. I loved Anatomy of a murder, along with many of his other films, yet I was ignorant to the fact that he wrote them. Shame on me.

    Robin wrote a new blog: "Screenwriter of the Week- Howards End".
    Running late again so apologies.The more modern the writers I talk about in these blogs the more information there is about them (or at least more is easily available), and since I don’t want to make the text intimidatingly long that also means ...

    I'm just feeling it a bit today cos I'm coming back from a week off, and every time that happens it just makes me realise how much fulltime writing would suit me. It's not like I go out anyway.

    I never saw a play of it but the movie was good. I liked it. :) I still think the books better though.

    I think I need to watch a few old movies, but this time paying attention! I should imagine that because they didn't have the technology we have today they would have had to put much more effort into directing the actors etc - so in fact they probably had a harder job? As for bad guys... I think most people have a level of evil in them but some higher than others? Minxie PS: don't worry the git's been banned by the cloud :]

    Hi Robin, and welcome to the cloud. It's a great site. So you are another insomnia victim. You have my full sympathy. There's nothing worse than not being able to sleep when you are whacked out. Welcome to the site. Enjoy.
