I didn't remember the movie but Sean Connery is the main character, Samson Shillitoe, a pompous poet. I wasn't picturing him because the poet is so stubborn and antisocial--he seems like an unattractive man. Like, an ugly man, like Charles Bukowski. Don't think the movie was very good but I like the book. So far, so good. Samson is not posing as a poet--he can't help it. Success at the poetry game is a crap shoot.
