What The Professor & The Madman Have In Common With Marketing
I’m just wrapping up reading The Professor and the Madman, which has become the basis for the upcoming biographical movie of the same title. The life of Professor James Murray is portrayed as he begins work on compiling words for the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) in the mid-19th century. While a great read, I fear I’ll never be able to see the book translated to the big screen, despite Vertical Entertainment acquiring US distribution rights to the film this year following a lengthy legal dispute for the last two years.
