If anyone still wants to make a "real" movie out of Brown's play, to 
"adapt" it to cinema--he may well do it. Brown once told me he had an 
idea for a million dollar production of The Brig, with thousands of 
prisoners. It should be done. The point of cruelty done by one man to 
another can never be overstressed. I, myself, I am not interested in 
adapting plays, I always said so and I am repeating it here again. The 
Brig, the movie, is not an adaptation of a play: It is a film play; it 
is record of my eye and my temperament lost in the play.
