George C. Scott and Stanley Kubrick playing chess on the set of Dr. Strangelove. Scott had an extremely volatile personality (he was renowned for bar brawls and heavy drinking) and Kubrick played chess with him between takes in order to ”tame him”.

GUN MACHINE, my next novel, is due for release January 2013 in the US, I’ve just been told, and spring 2013 in the UK. From Mulholland Books.
