Really funny film. That scene where they suddenly get spaced out and can hardly walk is hilarious. Haven t read the book, but several of his articles.
I've read Hell's Angels (inevitably) and enjoyed it very much.
Love that scene, watching them struggle to get into the casino. That whole film is classic to me, it's in my Top 10 all time. Lots of funny moments.

It's not a PC plod then?
I'm here all week. ;)
It might as well be. No wonder Bond pretty much eclipsed him. Maybe that's for the controversial thread (one of them anyway), but I think if it was not of Roger Moore, Simon Templar would be almost forgotten, except by a handful of diehard fans. The Saint is like a water downed Arsene Lupin, Charteris prose is verbose and convoluted, Prince Rudolf is a moustache twirling villain that is all arrogance and no real menace. Years ago I read a Saint story which I thought was really good, this one, not so much.
Personally I love the prose and put it on a par with Dorothy L. Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey novels for humour and style. But differing opinions are part of the fun of this forum!
Generally I don't mind at all writers from that time. And I love the time period and the setting. It's just something about the descriptions, the kind of verbosity. I find it too rich.
A superb anthology of 80+ poems in English, stretching from the 1500s to 2008. A scintillating mix of classics and hidden treasures. Published in late September, this was Clive James's last book--the brilliant man-of-letters died a little over a year ago. He wore many hats during his career--literary critic, essayist, TV critic, lyricist, TV host, novelist, memoirist--but his first and last roles were as a poet. In this book his commentaries demonstrate his good humor, taste and commitment.
