Stories for Movies: volume-1: Featuring 'The Mother Road', 'The Girl in the Shiny New Car' and 'Jack Schitt'
Ken Mays, author of the non-fiction book "The 4th Reich, Have Nazi Ethics and Tactics Invaded Contemporary America" enters the field of fiction with three stories reminiscent of the type Jack Warner would have made back in the day. Of course I doubt if they would have passed the Production Code of the time. This collection of Drama-Action Adventure tales include... Story-1: "The Mother Road"...California Desert, 1972..."There are a thousand things in the desert that can kill you...now there's a thousand and one."...when you put your demons of the past in the dungeon of your mind; it's best you lock the door to the cage... Story-2: "The Girl in the Shiny New Car"...Detroit, 1933...a story of betrayal and forbidden love set in the midst of the 'gangster wars' on the eve of the end to the Prohibition Era... Sory-3: "Jack Schitt"...Austria, May, 1945...a story of personal tragedy and triumph set on the last day of World War Two as O.S.S. operatives liberate the Mauthauson Concentration Camp. These action packed adventures would have been right up Humphrey Bogart's alley, with a dash of Robert Mitchum or Lauren Bacall thrown in on the side; maybe a little Bill Holden and Brando too... Reader Warning: Adult Content, Language, Rape and Graphic Violence...in short all the stuff that wasn't allowed in movies back then, but makes good box office now.
