“Mailer Hangs Tough Despite the Critics.” Article-interview by Jeannie Williams. USA Today, 18 May, Sec. D, p. 7. Early, negative reviews of the film version of Tough Guys Don’t Dance (84.17) are cited in this piece about Mailer at Cannes. Mailer says, “I think my film lies somewhere in a no-man’s land between a murder mystery, a suspense tale, a film of horror and a comedy of manners.” See 1986 and 1987 entries.
