As mentioned, not a fan of the original. But love Larry L. King's making-of book, The Whorehouse Papers. Wish there was something similar for the sequel, especially given the flop aspect. However, he does blow off steam, air some dirty laundry in a series of published letters (Larry L. King: A Writer's Life in Letters, Or, Reflections in a Bloodshot Eye); worth reading if you can find a copy.
"Let the record show that on May 10th I opened The Best Little Whorehouse Goes Public and Willie Nelson got busted for pot. Willie got better press than I did, so apparently my crime was the larger. And that young kid who got his ass caned in Singapore? He took his licks in private; I was caned as publicly as can be done." |
