In fact, the movie is what made me want to read the book. One thing I left out here is a little exchange between the Trumbos in describing to Cook their romance. Cleo thought something was missing. <i>“It doesn’t make it clear here that if you were an ordinary man, things wouldn’t have been nearly so difficult for you.”<br /><br />She kept reading—and kept frowning. Finally with a sigh she finished. <br /><br />“Well?”<br /><br />“You don’t get the feeling out of this of how glad I am I married this crazy man instead of some dull son of a bitch.”</i><br /><br />Mathew Pausthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06157135006791553019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547065615486762917.post-217505475168072792016-03-11T15:33:23.640-05:002016-03-11T15:33:23.640-05:00What a lovely story, Mathew.
