We don't know the title of the American film that never was. But, what we know
about it
starts with the following quote:
|
|
"Parts such as Kaspar Hauser or the title character in Jaroslav Hasek’s
The Good Soldier Svejk were projects [Peter]
Lorre always spoke about -- [Charlie]
Chaplin
even offered to direct Svejk - but failed to ever realize."

There are 17
pages with references to Švejk in Stephen Youngkin's book about Peter
Lorre. The first nine are references to mentions of Švejk
in the text of the book; the
last eight are references to other sources mentioning Švejk. You might find the excerpts posted
on amazon.com quite interesting.
