Trumbo

[s***@hotmail.com]

Beyond a mention of him by Kirk Douglas as difficult director, no scenes involving SK in the new Dalton Trumbo biopic. There's a slight facsimile of SK and CK sitting behind Douglas at the "Spartacus" premiere but, in respect of SK's disowning the film, that's it.

Script does an adequate job of encapsulating the Trumbo/"Spartacus" scandal, but remains just a few grades above a TV movie.

Thanks for the headsup. I had noticed no "Stanley Kubrick" in the cast. I had met Trumbo at a tiny screening at his office in Studio City of Johnny got his gun. A long time friend of mine was a PA on the film and had taken me to their office after hours and then to the screening. My sister grooms his son's dog in Ojai for along time.
