Another Book To Movie

[whiskeryron]

I have on my bookshelves a 1966 book by Paul Gallico entitled '' The Man Who Was Magic'' on the flyleaf it states that the book is to be made into a movie by Paramount, I have never seen this movie advertised anywhere does anyone know if it was actually made? Ron.

HI Ron. It seems not. The list of movie adaptations of his books are:


1953, Lili, based on The Love of Seven Dolls
1964, The Three Lives of Thomasina, based on Thomasina: The Cat Who Thought She Was God (1957)
The Snow Goose
1972, The Poseidon Adventure
1972, Honorable Cat
Lou Gehrig: Pride of the Yankees
1991, Bezumnaya Lori (Russia), based on Thomasina

That was my dad's favourite book, whiskeryron : ).

I haven't read it for years but remember I enjoyed it. You've inspired me to ask mum if she still has our old copy and read it again.

Shame it never made it to the screen.

Thanks for your answers guys, yinyang I read it again recently & it is still as good as ever, blender74 it's a lovely story but if you don't want to pay Amazon can I suggest your local library ( before the government closes 'em all down) Ron.
