#TIL James Clavell, author of the "Asian Saga" novels like Shogun, Taipan etc which I read in the 80s & 90s, wrote the script for The Fly (1958), the scifi-horror film in tonight's #MonsterdonDoubleFeature watch party
He also wrote the script for The Great Escape (1963) we had in #FridayThrillerClub in September

Re Clavell's Asian Saga, I only read the 1st (King Rat) & the last (Gaijin) in the 2000s, one after the other. The drop-off in quality was huge. Read King Rat, forget Gaijin. #JamesClavell
