I mean film sean. There was a movie made in 1949, which was a "Susan Hayward
Kleenex-dampener of his "Uncle Wigggily in Connecticut." Which, I take
it,(who's Susan Hayward) means bad. The quote from a review among a
collection entitled, "SALINGER: A CRITICAL AND PERSONAL PORTRAIT" by Harper
and Row. I think it's pretty good. Notably it mentions that he had an iq of
104 (from the bio by the Times). Isn't that quite a bit below average for a
writer?
Anybody seen the film?
