I'd love to be able to convince the Coen Brothers to make a movie of this. Shulman was from Minnesota, as are the Coens, so their comic sensibilities mesh well, and the Coens aren't afraid to do period pieces. I think they could take this material and run with it.NessMonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349052204994313136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2728909293998777391.post-37454372060555500882016-01-30T15:09:52.000-08:002016-01-30T15:09:52.000-08:00I read a number of Shulman's books way back wh...I read a number of Shulman's books way back when, including the Dobie Gillis tales, RALLY 'ROUND THE FLAG, BOYS, and others, but, alas, missed this one.

Both pretty much forgotten now. I think the old days need a resurgence.<br /><br />And congrats on your recent election as President of the Western Fictioneers.Jerry Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482856733981933159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2728909293998777391.post-79234570161668877892016-01-29T05:53:19.750-08:002016-01-29T05:53:19.750-08:00I'm a big Shulman fan and have done a couple o...I'm a big Shulman fan and have done a couple of FFB reports on his books, along with a review of the movie version of <i>Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys</i>, which I like a lot. Shulman's one of the greats, and it's sad that he's forgotten.mybillcriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350478005243505108noreply@blogger.com
