I had read that Goldman was brought in at the last minute to add some excitement/depth to the script. I was sorry to see that Attenborough had died, although I had heard that he was in bad shape, dementia, etc. Thanks for your note.Gerry Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516124652849272879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3316775379184667800.post-19079314202792961692014-08-25T17:01:03.544-07:002014-08-25T17:01:03.544-07:00Gerry - William Goldman's tie to Chaplin shoul...Gerry - William Goldman's tie to Chaplin should be noted: The film by Richard Attenborough was adapted by William Boyd, Bryan Forbes and William Goldman from the books My Autobiography by Chaplin and Chaplin: His Life and Art by film critic David Robinson.
