Hello:
I was just reading through Judith Mayne's book on the film Le
Corbeau, published by the U of IL Press, and on page 73, Mayne
mentions, startlingly, that in 1943, director Henri-Georges Clouzot
was going to adapt Nabokov's Camera Obscura to the screen in
collaboration with Sartre (!). The project was abandoned. The author
doesn't offer a specific citation for this fact, but I wonder if this
situation was another contributing factor to Nabokov's later
antipathy to Sartre, given that Clouzot was considered by many a
German collaborator.
