![]() ![]() ![]() That was a better fiction than those within his covers. The fiction was that I had read the book and he had written it, and we could discuss it. Henry James wrote books, none of which ever became one movie.Īnd so Thomas Tryon ("I hate it when they call me 'Tom'-I want to put that whole side of me behind me") was on a national tour to promote his book. ![]() For $2.3 million you expect your money's worth, and Universal Pictures was going to get it: Thomas Tryon's book contained four longish stories and it was going to be made into four movies. Even an Irving Wallace or a Harold Robbins might look at a figure like that and purse his lips and let out a long, low whistle, and then perhaps turn to the window and look out into the night and absentmindedly jingle the change in his pockets. That is a lot of money for Hollywood to pay for a book. ![]()
