Now that "Catch Me If You Can" is out on DVD, any comments?
Anybody concerned that somebody else might try to fake their way onto a jumpseat? (Realizing that would only mean a free seat in the back, not the cockpit.)
I read the book when it first came out. (I was in Saudi for Desert Storm at the time.) I found the book pretty entertaining. The movie is somewhat different from the book. The real guy was 6 ft, 170 lbs, and looked much older than DiCaprio. He was one of 4 kids and went to live with his dad after the divorce. After he ran away he never saw his father again. It's really too bad they didn't cover more of his trip to Europe with fake FAs from Univ of Arizona. It sounds like he lived a pretty high life, but then, he is a consumate BS artist, so you don't have any idea what REALLY happened. Has anybody else read the book?
