Michael Roch When I first read your comment, I was thinking Robinson in "Dolan's Cadillac," then realized I had the wrong story. I think you'd fare better as Robinson than Barton Dawes, though.

Michael Roch The movie wasn't bad, either. At first, Sylvester Stallone was going to be Dolan, with Christian Slater playing Robinson. In the end, Slater was Dolan, and Wes Bentley had the part of Robinson.

Back in the 1980s, Stephen King put out a Castle Rock newsletter. "Dolan's Cadillac" first appeared in the first five issues. (Individual issues are selling for around $25, including shipping, each on ebay.)
