This week, I'm reading the twentieth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. There's a whole bunch of prereading announcements that occur prior to this (about 22 min in; it's not a long chapter). This chapter takes place in Griffith Observatory, which is a real life location you can visit should you ever find yourself in Los Angeles. I was there a number of years ago, at night, and it did look pretty much the same as it had in the film about ten years prior. This section has some cool dialogue between Eddie Valentine and Neville Sinclair as well as a great shot of the Rocketeer flying in and landing in a very controlled way. For a guy who nearly killed himself trying to land it just a short time before (a day or two at most), Cliff sure got the hang of it! Thanks for listening!
