"Captain Corelli's Mandolin," a 2001 film starring Nicolas Cage and
Penelope Cruz based on the 1994 novel by Louis De Bernieres, began with good intentions, but in the end, disappointed many. Like so many films, treatments and scripts were rewritten and tossed numerous times before the producers settled on the final draft for the film that was
eventually released.
Here now, are the Top 10 original screenplays that were
rejected:
10. Corporal Corelli's Mandolin
8. That Guy Saul From B Company's Jew's Harp
4. Private Fongoole's Lobster Bib
3. Who Is Monica Corelli And Why Is She Playing That Goddamned Harmonica

I recall falling asleep while watching this movie at home. Never tried again to finish viewing.
In regard to today's cover version, The Who and guest Leslie West are awesome on Baby Don't You Do It. The new Who's Next box set kicks off disc 4 with a version from the New York Record Plant Sessions, 1971, Take 2, Unedited. It's just under 9 minutes of joy, though less concise than this version. I'm still working my way through the rest of the box, but so far it is very good.

I'd watch the didgeridoo movie.

I can't stop laughing at numbers 1, 2 and 4!
This happens to so many movies based on amazing books. Of course as a die hard Stephen King fan, I've been disappointed many times.
Go with it, eric Eric Denmark have you seen kiss kiss bang bang?
Good one! I would go to most of those. We need more lobster bib movies!
