Movie Review
Man On the Moon
by Gary Johnson
After working for several months on the script for the Andy Kaufman bio-pic Man On the Moon, screenwriters Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski were stumped. They couldn't figure out who Andy was. They felt sort of like Joseph Cotton in Citizen Kane: with every interview they conducted, they got a different picture of their quarry. Eventually, Lynne Margulies (who had lived with Andy for his last two years) gave them some key advice: "Guys, there was no real Andy."
