A Canadian production company, I believe, bought the rights to the biography written about her from the author, Madeleine Masson, but no progress as yet, although a play has been produced about her in Poland, I think it's called "The Flower of War."

So Fleming was involved with a woman who had a more responsible position than he did, and yet he created fiction in which women are secondary to a central irresistible male.<br /><br />If he'd created a smart, sexy, patriotic character with a wooden leg, maybe he would have become a real writer.<br /><br />Very interesting post.Shelleyhttp://dustbowlpoetry.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-61314356941308693862011-05-05T09:22:41.126-05:002011-05-05T09:22:41.126-05:00I was very surprised to learn that Krystyna Skarbe...I was very surprised to learn that Krystyna Skarbek was a historical figure after I finished reading "Heart of Desire".<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ManOfLaBook.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.ManOfLaBook.com</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
