1058: The Words
Trivia: Lee Sternthal and Brian Klugman wrote the
script back in 1999. As friends of Bradley
Cooper before his Hangover fame, they ask him to play the lead, he
accepted then and kept his word more than 10 years later.
When
Rory find and reads the Old Man's manuscript, the first page shown on-screen is
actually an excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's memoir, "A Moveable
Feast", discussing one of his early short stories called "Up in
Michigan". Nearly all of Hemingway's other early works were lost because the
suitcase his wife had packed them in was stolen from a train in Paris when she
left in unattended for a few minutes; the Old Man's story clearly parallels
this event.
