"I think Bronson did a movie in the Seventies based on the
Bleeck/St.Ives character, but I haven't seen it and don't
know anything about it. I don't think Bronson, as much as I
like him, was right for St. Ives, anyway."
I saw St Ives during its initial run. You're right, Bronson
wasn't really right for the role. Jacqueline Bisset was quite
hot in it, though. The movie wasn't very good. They
emphasized the caper aspects of the story and it felt kind of
like a made-for-TV movie of the period. However, I must have
liked something about it, since it led me to read The Procane
Chronicles, upon which it was based. And that led me to the
rest of Thomas's books, first the other Bleeck books, then
those under his own name, starting with Chinaman's Chance.
After that, I went back to the beginning and read them in
order.
