Indeed, but the relationship between Doolittle and Talby is touching, the way Talby can't open up to anyone aboard other then Talby.

And hilarious as it is, I still think Pinbacks log entry towards the end of the film where he admits he's not really Pinback is rather sad.

My fave book - the one I've read the most times, despite its size.
