...Pulitzer Prize, his own publishing house, part ownership in a shopping center-and bankruptcy, moral and fiscal. Finally, while penning another doorstopper to pay off his debt to a Swiss bank, he catches pneumonia. "Apparently fell into the stream while trying to make it to the road with his manuscript," says the doctor with innocent wit. In the book, the author dies, but in the movie he survives-presumably to prove that a doomed genius has as much right to live as anybody...
