DiCaprio 37 then he is the right age.Google his height and he is
apparently 5 foot eleven. We probably picture McGee as about 6 foot and
7 inches. But he could probably fake that. <<
An no soapbox needed although it would be wise to chose shorter actresses.
I may not have read all the Travis McGee novels, but probably most of them. I never pictured McGee as 6' 7", just as I never picture Sam Spade as a blond devil with a triangular face.
If DiCaprio does the movie with the right script etc., It'll work -- No matter what Rick Helms thinks or Jim Doherty thinks.
Note To Jim:
Noir = Screwed, Hard boiled = tough
See you in Indy.
Note to Rick:
Congrats on the sale to the biggies. I forget whether is was AHMM or EQMM, but they are both winners. Rick Helms is a winner too. Happy Anniversary, Rick.
We'll miss you at Indy.
