The Whole Wide World

"W" is for the Whole Wide World.

Vincent produced and starred in the movie The Whole Wide World.  It's a story of love, destruction and passion. A true story about Robert E. Howard.  He wrote poetry and pulp-fiction.His poetry-mostly unpublished until after his death-about his love for beautiful women, but had relationships with only two women in his life-his mother and a girl, later a schoolteacher, named Novalyne Price. He and Novalyne Price fell in love with each other , but could never love enough at the right time.
 
 Here Bob Howard describes one of his pulp-fiction characters, Conan the Barbarian, to his friend Novalyne Price.



This kiss was describe as the best on screen kiss in movie history. And to think it was done in one take.
If you haven't had the chance to see this one, I highly recommend. It's enjoyed by both men and woman alike.
