Word from the Producer

I first read Gorila almost thirty years ago. Ever since, I have imagined seeing this book as a motion picture. It is a thrilling story about a group of young men who escaped Communist regimes in Eastern Europe, seeking their place under the Parisian sun. They were young, they were handsome, exotic, full of life, and the desire to live. They had chosen to start over in Paris and Hollywood, running away from their checkered pasts . . . but they couldn't hide.

(Samuels writes: 'A friend of Delon’s the Corsican gangster François Marcantoni, was indicted, but there was insufficient evident to convict him of the murder; Delon was questioned but never charged.') . . ."
