The danger will be that they take the title, which is a
stunner, and a couple of the characters' names and tell
whatever story they want to with it. That's what happened to
TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT, which really was a pretty cohesive
story in book form. But there again, Hemingway went a little
crazy with the stylish flourishes and the less perceptive
readers didn't get it. Time will undoubtedly tell.
