314.0. "Milk Money (John Irvings 'A Prayer For Owen Meany')" by 35186::BACH (They who know nothing, doubt nothing...) Mon Aug 30 1993 15:07

    I wtached them film part of a new movie a few houses down from our house
    yesterday.
    
    It stars Melanie Griffith as a stripper paid for by three teens who
    use their milk money to finance the gig.
    
    Thats about all I know.

Ed Harris also stars (as, if I read the summaries correctly, the father
of one of the boys that Melanie falls in love with); if memory serves,
Richard Benjamin is directing (his most recent is Made in America).

    They finished up a few scenes at our local elementary school last week.

    The school, Kilgor Elementary, was changed to "Owen Meany Jr. High" for
    a few months.

    The movie is based upon the John Irving book "A Prayer for Owen Meany".

    It should be exciting to see my neighborhood and little town square
    used as the background for a movie...

    I read the book a couple of years back and it is very good. Funny and
    moving. Hope they don't ruin it.
314.4what about 'The Cider House Rules'?51847::SANDGRENKeep it simpleThu Nov 25 1993 06:148
	Apropos John Irving, did they ever make a movie out of the book
	'The Cider House Rules'? This book is my favourite of John Ir-
	ving (having read ALL of them), I would LOVE to see it as a mo-
	vie...

    Not a movie. But Channel 4 (I think) made a series of the book. Very good
    I believe. This was fairly recently so I doubt that it would be
    available on video yet.

    Having read "A Prayer For Owen Meany" I do not believe that the
    movie "Milk Money" is any way shape or form connected to the
    John Irving novel. The plots are completely different.

    	Does anyone know where this was filmed?
    
    	Chip didn't happen to mention where he was from, although I
    	seem to recall that he was a ZKO[?] resident.
