“A number of other people saw in the yarn potentialities for revision, reshaping and improvement. It was condensed, boiled down, digested, redigested, reprinted, book-clubbed, synopsized, subjected to scenario treatment and ultimately blown up into a movie by Alfred Hitchcock. All that survived in the end were the title, the names of some of the characters and the copyright, which was mine.”
David Dodge - author of To Catch a Thief, taken from The Rich Man’s Guide to the Riviera, published in 1963 by Cassell Plc, a division of The Orion Publishing Group (London).
