David Pal, the eldest son of producer/director George Pal, has this to say about my authorized biography of his father, George Pal: Man of Tomorrow:
"Bravo, Justin. Your manuscript is wonderful. You have made a document that will be a treasure to my family, I am sure, forever. I believe there will never need to be another biography of my father based on the in-depth research that is present in your manuscript. It is a complete picture of his life and most importantly a liberation of facts into the light of the truth, which from my perspective has been much-needed.
"All those names that I had forgotten and all the memories of my past with my father that have been rekindled– I have never previously felt that with other writing about him. You have captured aspects of him as a person that I have found very difficult to explain to others, particularly those who think they knew him. Thanks so much, Justin.
"I will, from this point on, say to other researchers that all the facts regarding my father have already been addressed in toto in your book and there is nothing further that could be added."

For Sale: Ultra-Rare Unfilmed "A Clockwork Orange" Screenplay by Anthony Burgess Himself!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221817543837?ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
I'm selling an extremely rare reproduction of executive producer Si Litvinoff's personal copy of Anthony Burgess's unfilmed screenplay of "A Clockwork Orange." This is not Stanley Kubrick's screenplay that was shot, or Terry Southern's earlier script, but one by Burgess himself. It cleaves much closer to Burgess's novel and has a wildly different opening, among countless other differences. Two years ago, the Anthony Burgess Foundation told me that the only copies of this script that they know of are in their collection and in the Kubrick Archives. I sold Litvinoff's original copy of this script a while back and it is currently up for sale by a European bookseller for 15,000 Euros.
