sorry, being nitpicky, but that movie was called "Manhunter", tho I believe
it was based on the novel red dragon. And yes, I would agree it is in many
ways superior to ...Lambs.
As someone finally reaching the end of a coupla years' writing a book about
someone whose plays depict murderous Jews, the brutal torture of a
homosexual king, Catholic terrorists slaughtering innocent Protestants, and
a shepherd-turned-world conquerer who put Attila the Hun in the shade, I'd
have to agree that it is possible to create great art out of unpalatable
source material.
