趣闻
- 改编自：Royal Flash
Royal Flash is a 1975 British adventure comedy film directed by Richard Lester and starring Malcolm McDowell, Oliver Reed, Alan Bates and Florinda Bolkan. It was written by George MacDonald Fraser based on his 1970 Flashman novel of the same name.
Production
Flashman, the first novel of The Flashman Papers series, had been published in 1968 and attracted the interest of film producers. At one stage Richard Lester was to direct, but the necessary financing could not be secured. However, Lester enjoyed the novel and then hired George MacDonald Fraser to adapt The Three Musketeers for two successful films in the early 1970s. This enabled Lester to obtain finance for a Flashman film.
Royal Flash was the second Flashman novel, and had been published in 1970. The New York Times said "Mr MacDonald Fraser has considerable narrative skill... most ingeniously plotted and often hilariously funny."
Lester said he did not want to film the first novel as "after putting so much work into it originally, I felt that I'd already made the film, even though it had never reached the shooting stage. It was dead." Lester admitted the second novel was "simpler to film in many ways.
The film was one of the first produced by executive David Picker following his resignation from being head of United Artists in 1973. He had just made Juggernaut with Lester.
In 1969 John Alderton had been cast as Flashman but David Picker wanted a better known actor in the lead. Malcolm McDowell was cast.
