Where Love Has Gone (43 page)
The Adventurers
movie is sold on the Paramount Video Web site. At the time it was produced, it was the most expensive movie ever filmed. “An underrated film and book that shares themes with works like Shakespeare’s
Hamlet
and Gunter Grass’s
The Tin Drum,
the overbearing melancholic truths of
The Adventurers
evoke both a crippling sadness for humanity and a hope for future generations …” Sounds like Harold Robbins may have written this book for our time now in the twenty-first century. This story stands the test of time, selling over 10 million copies worldwide.
Although the screenplay for
The Adventurers
movie is credited to Michael Hastings and Lewis Gilbert, at one point John Michael Hayes and Harold Robbins himself were set to do the adaptation. Harold Robbins did adapt
The Adventurers
from his novel for the screen. He sent the script to Lewis Gilbert, the director of the film, and received a call in the middle of the night at his home in Le Cannet, France. Gilbert screamed into the phone, “You’re fired, Robbins … this screenplay is too bloody, too sexy and too much like the book!” He hung up, and that was the end of Harold’s screenwriting career.
