Norman Mailer's "Tough Guys Don't Dance"
The book was great the movie....
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
Thomas Paine
There's been a lot of schlocky movies made, but for an attempt at a serious "film" (if you get the difference between a "film" and a "movie" ), the absolute worst piece of utter dreck that I ever wasted an hour of my life on was Burt Lancaster in "The Swimmer".
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
