Thank you for this. Can you tell me the best way to send him a note to wish him well+thank him for"Marjorie Morningstar"?
-
Me too! I loved his books. Caine Mutiny. Youngblood Hawk!
-
Just ordered Youngblood Hawke & Marjorie Morningstar. Since it's been over 50 years it should be like reading them for the first time!
-
One of my favorite things about "Marjorie"was discovering how I still love the book but my perspective changed from 1st read as teen.
-
That's what I'm thinking. Excited. I can vividly remember reading Hawke on my beach towel at the pool. Hot sun. I couldn't stop reading it!
-
Same w/Marj.-+was never interested in the movie-cast it so differently in my mind-He wrote story from young woman's perspective so well.
-
I don't think I saw movie. Now Humphrey Bogart as Queeg was exactly as I pictured!

-
A classic. But Natalie Wood/Gene Kelly in MarjMStar.-like them both,but boo mess so personal+human-big studio film didn't capture it.

My FAVORITE writer. I assigned Caine Mutiny, War & Remembrance when teaching history, and still reread them regularly. He's a treasure.

Loved "Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance" but will never forgive whoever was responsible for the TV mini series.
-
I think Bob Mitchum (RIP) and Victoria Tennant were great as Pug and Pam, and Ralph Bellamy as FDR.
-
Mitchum was totally wrong for Pug. Wouk wrote him as a "compact & pugnacious" man. Should've been someone like Glen Ford
