Hi Jay, yep, I have to catch up on eating pizza, I think i'm about 4 or so behind my regular pizza allowance. I think Papa John's has a buy one get one free special going on. I have not read Niven's book but I heard it was really good though.
David Niven probably was able to get through shooting that scene because he played several Chess games with Anthony Quinn. Gave him a chance to rest.
TRK.
