Mickey Knox, February 17, 1964: Difference between revisions

P.S. I think ''Henderson the Rain King'' could make a great movie, so here’s wishing you luck on that. I’m sure you’ve thought of this, but it occurs to me that Welles might be interested in playing Henderson; and it might be interesting to try to get Sonny Liston to play Dahfu. If you can get a picture started, I’ll go and talk to Liston because I’m on fairly good terms with his manager, [[w:Jack Nilon|Jack Nilon]].<ref>Nothing came of the idea of having [[w:Orson Welles|Orson Welles]] play Henderson and [[w:Sonny Liston|Sonny Liston]] play Dahfu in a film version of Saul Bellow’s ''[[w:Henderson the Rain King|Henderson the Rain King]]''. Knox attempted unsuccessfully to convince Welles to buy the rights.</ref>
