A movie that I've always enjoyed was the 1968 film "Charley". I know
that this film was based on a book entitled "Flowers for Algernon"
(I believe Algernon was the mouse). Lately I've had a hankering to
read said book, but I don't know the author. Can anyone tell me who it is?

No it wasn't Ray Bradbury. It was Daniel Keynes (sp?)

I looked this one up:
FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON by Daniel Keyes, copyright 1959.
winner of the 1960 Hugo Award for best Novelette.
it can be found in THE HUGO AWARD WINNERS, Volume 1, edited by Isaac Asimov.

Incidentally, the name of the film is CHARLY, and if possible, the L should be backwards. It was based, supposedly on the novelet by Daniel Keyes, not the novel. I liked the novelet, but novel immediately became one of my favorite books of all time. So much so that I was really disappointed by the film. I did remember, however, lines from the film that I had heard before and thought about as a young kid. This convinces me that I did see the TV play "The Short Life of Charley Gordon" when it was first broadcast in 50's. I must have been pretty young at the time. Cliff Robertson starred in the TV play also (which was why he always wanted to do the film). The worst thing I ever saw on Broadway was the musical CHARLEY AND ALGERNON. Never heard of it? Good, count yourself lucky. The play made Gordon's great achievment as a genius taking Alice Kinian to bed. It was horrible. Mark Leeper ...ihnp4!mtgzz!leeper

Thanks, Mark, for correcting the spelling. Misspelled names tend to drive
me crazy, and I'm never quite sure whether it's worth correcting or not.
