As a filmmaker, you know it's a bad sign when the writer of the novel you are adapting not only refuses to endorse the product, but also makes a point of disowning it. Given that the author has ostensibly dreamt up, lived with and learned to love the depicted characters, it would seem that if he were not sold, no one else would be. Such a sad fate enveloped Michael Sarne's 1970 adaptation of Gore Vidal's "Myra Breckenridge," his famously controversial novel about a transsexual on a mission of gender destruction.
