Hi, a new biography of Bob Capa has recently been published with this title. I've bought it and started reading it today. So far so good.
There's a BBC radio piece here about it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/arts/frontrow/frontrow_20020425.shtml with archive recordings of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Cornel Capa and his big brother Bob. While reading the book on the tube this evening I thought how surprising it is that his life hasn't yet been turned into a film (unless you count Hitchcock's "Rear Window" - the Jimmy Stewart character is supposed to be based on Capa), and I was wandering who would be suitable to play Capa. Anyway, according to a search I've just done on the global electronic brain a film exists, or is due to exist, also called 'Blood and Champagne', starring and produced by Pierce Brosnan. Does anybody know if this film has ever been made? Several websites list it as having been made before Brosnan's excellent 'Tailor of Panama', but I've never heard of the film. Straight to video? Straight to the bin? Never got made? Cheers, Bob - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
