Well, you're right, but it's to such a degree that I think it made him kind of an intriguing weirdo more than a fuddy duddy. And either way, he still wrote some good stuff. He was pretty eclectic too. I mean, he's the guy who wrote the screenplay for the John Huston version of
Moby Dick, then went on to write the book
Green Shadows, White Whale about moving to Ireland and dealing with John Huston's crazy bul
