WalMart has THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD on their ultra-cheap DVD rack for $5.50. I discovered it while seeking out bad horror movies for Halloween.

In Texas in the 1930s, young schoolteacher Novalyne Price meets a handsome, eccentric, interesting young man named Robert Howard. He's a successful writer - of the pulp stories of 'Conan the Barbarian'; she's an aspiring one. A friendship develops into a sort of courtship. Based on a memoir by Novalyne Price.

I dig the movie. The insight into Howard's attitudes and mindset have helped me run my Conan game. It's not a great flick, but I'm happy to own it for cheap.

I loved the film. It's not the best movie in the whole wide world, if you'll pardon the joke, but it does provide a fantastic insight into Howard's mindset and creative process that can be very helpful to Conan GMs and players, as well as readers of his stories who don't game.

This is a film I would have loved to see but as I haven't a TV set ( :shock: ), I won't see it that soon.

If you like the film try and get hold of Novalyne Price Ellis' book One Who Walked Alone on which it's based.

The scene where Howard is typing furiously, while reading the scene aloud to himself, gives me chills. Anyone know what story that is?

I too picked it up a walmart for $5.50. I was going to post it but was beaten to it.

I enjoyed the movie immensely.
