Thanks for the info. I saw Apocalypse when it came out and knew it was based on Conrad’s book. The Making of Apocalypse Now by Coppola’s wife is a fascinating documentary as well. I didn’t know about the Karloff & Malkovitch versions. Do you happen to know if they are any good?

Since it was made entirely inside a studio, I kind of doubt the Karloff version was. The Malkovich version might be. . . but IMDB gives it only a 5.6 rating out of 10 possible. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a critics rating of 40% and a viewers rating of 39%. . . not good.
