Get Shorty, Part One
from The Elmore Leonard Podcast
GET SHORTY is one of Elmore Leonard's best known and best regarded novels. But after re-reading it, both Alex and Judd believe it is still under appreciated. In Part One, they dig into how only Elmore could write this book, what inspired it, some of the differences between the book and Barry Sonnenfeld's great movie, the connection between Chili Palmer and Sir Laurence Olivier, and more.
