According to the book, “When screened from six long Betamax tapes, the original rough cut runs to over five hours. Some sequences are bloated and repetitive, but there is much buried treasure.” And regarding Hopper: “Dennis Hopper’s photographer, inspired not just by Sean Flynn, but also by the Russian ‘harlequin’ figure in HEARTS OF DARKNESS.”

As to my neighbors, most of them have come by to watch a film at one point or another and, thankfully (knock on wood), none have complained – yet!

What’s up with that? And thanks for the reminder that Dennis Hopper’s character was based on the ill-fated Sean Flynn. Always fascinating to see connections involving classic Hollywood, especially where you least expect them.

I hope your neighbors appreciate how lucky they are to have you just over the fence! :-)
