A C Carke wrote some books - mostly about monkeys. The other guy made a movie or two.
I can't agree, neither Clarke wrote mostly about monkeys, nor Minghuella made just a film or two.
And I didn't know that bit about Arthur sexuallity but really, I don't care. What means to me is the work of the people. In fact if you search deep enough you can find dirty and nasty things about all famous and loved ones. With one exception, my favourite band. That's why I never care about personal details of musicians, writers, artists. Only their work.
Beatles are the only solely great exception.
