Dr. Seuss was h
ired to write the original script for
Rebel Without a Cause and dropped out when his wife got sick. For any of you who love the guy's work as a children's book author, I highly,
highly recommend
Dr. Seuss Goes to War, an anthology of his political cartoons, which are sometimes brilliant, and sometimes (especially when it comes to Japan) racist as hell. Really worth the time, if only as a way to reconsider his later career.
