Not SF, but of genre interest:
The Whole Wide World. =20
Stars Vincent D'Onofrio & Ren=E9e Zellweger. =20

Based on Novalyne Price's memoir of her romance with a young writer in =
west Texas in the 1930s.  Beutifully filmed, D'Onofrio gets it just right. =
 The film was mentioned at one of the Waldrop panels at Capclave - Howard =
thought it great.

Oh... the writer is Robert E. Howard, and we all know how it ends.=20
