Mario Puzo. Fools die (№ 188473)

Writers must have some gift, some talent so that reading their books would bring pleasure, would learn something new. With the film the gift and talent was not required. You could find some rich guy who wants to tell the story of his life, and without the help of the great Director, great writer, great actors - the list goes on - through the magic of cinema to become a hero. Great future movie was the fact that create it to those whom nature is completely deprived of talent. Of course, the talented people would have done better, but went so.
