Just a random thought - does anyone know what the movie is that Sunny the
prostitute tells Holden about? Right at the end of chapter 13 she talks
about `The one that was Mel-vine Douglas' kid brother? That falls off this
boat?' Not having any big knowledge on 40's and 50's films (but agreeing
with Holden's assessment of `Hamlet' - what's the big deal about Olivier
anyway? He tends to go `Oh, this is a serious bit. I'll just get louder')
I've never been able to track it down, and I'd be interested to hear what
Holden supposedly looks like!
