Charlie or Flowers for Algernon?
Borgnine or Robertson? And it seems there was a more recent mini series out there as well. I have seen both the earlier theatrical versions but sooo long ago I don't remember much more than the story and that I enjoyed them at the time.
Opinions?

Both were great writers. Btw Minnesota Fats was made up by Tevis and Walter thought it
was funny when some pool player adopted that Nome de Ger as his own.
