Say Waugh?


I hadn't heard anything about this, either, Dr. J writes, aware he's been out of too many loops for way too long: Stephen Fry has completed his directorial debut, a film version of Evelyn Waugh's novel Vile Bodies. Here is an article from the Telegraph by Waugh's grandson Alec (Alexander), and a less supportive one here from the same paper. The film stars a disparate cast from Dan Aykroyd to Peter O'Toole to ninety-odd year-old Sir John Mills, in a cameo as a cocaine-snorting geriatric. Waugh's book, by the way, is well worth the read.
