It appears that there is to be a Hollywood movie about Robert Maxwell, the media tycoon who died in 1991 after stealing his employees' pension funds (which happened to include my wife's). Producer Edward R Pressman, whose 70 films appropriately include Wall Street and American Psycho, has bought the rights to the West End play Maxwell, Lies Have Been Told. After seeing the play Pressman remarked: "Maxwell's story is Citizen Kane meets Wall Street." But Orson Welles, who would have been a natural for the part, is dead. So who do you think should take the starring role of Maxwell?
