I know that's an unlikely pair of titles, but I have two unrelated
queries. Was there a film version of the Fowles's novel
The Magus? Was Peter O'Toole in it? Is it available on cassette?
I'm counting all that as one query. Number Two: Does anyone know
if the 1956 (I think) film Beat the Devil can be purchased for
less than $50, and if so, from whom? I know it's on tape, I rented
it once. Thanks!
