Do they talk about how that happened? Or indeed IF it really happened? You can't help but wonder whether someone capable of stealing billions from his employees' pensions actually faked his own death to escape attention and justice. Or maybe someone employed on his superyacht who maybe had had his own pension robbed got an opportunity to help Robert become 'Bob' with a little shove?'Fall' by John Preston.
A biography of Robert Maxwell the media baron who fell off the stern of his yacht and was never seen again.
Fascinatingly well written.
That's quite an output! Hangover Square was also made into a film with a terrific score by Bernard Herman. Rope I assume is the source of the Hitchcock film?"20,000 Streets Under The Sky" by Patrick Hamilton, alcoholic author of this, "Hangover Square" and the plays "Rope" and "Gas Light" (then made into a film and the origin of the current expression "gaslighting"), among many other plays and novels. He certainly managed to produce quite a lot "under the influence" and before pegging out at 58.
Indeed it is. Hamilton died at the start of the Sixties, and although he must have made some money from his works being made into films, I have the impression it wasn't a fortune.That's quite an output!
