That's bad news. It's hard to imagine how a hard-hitting,
direct story like The Ax can be screwed up. Who directed it?
I wonder why one of the several good American directors has
not grabbed this story. I bet Westlake would be willing to
write the script himself... My choice for a director would be
Polanski, of course.
