Captain Corelli's Mandolin

When Louis De Bernieres was asked about his opinion of the film based on his book, he told the Financial Times . . "Well, I could go on about that for a long time. There is a lot of good about it," he begins. But he can't restrain himself for long. Hollywood directors are "like dogs who want to piss on lamposts to show it's theirs", he suddenly says. " They just can't resist tampering with stories."
