The Catcher in The Rye/Trivia


 * What Could Have Been: This has been proposed for a film adaptation dozens of times, all of which were personally turned down by Salinger. Ralph Bakshi wrote a personal letter to Salinger proposing that he purchase the rights and make it into an animated film with live-action bookends. Salinger told Bakshi that he didn't feel that the novel was fit for any other medium.
