View, CA Lines: 17 [] Re Fritz Leiber and "Equinox": I'm sorry to be the one to have to tell you but, yes, it was Fritz "Fafhrd" Leiber, the SF writer, in the movie (ref. John Stanley's "Creature Feature Movie Guide"). Not only that, but Jim Danforth worked on the special (?) effects. The only comfort I can offer is that Leiber had nothing to do with the script. I have a confession to make: I *liked* "Equinox". I was deeply into Carl Jung at the time I saw it, and was able to read all kinds of archetypal symbolism in between the lines, pure and unsullied by reality, just like a fairy tale. Those who were with me looked at me *very* strangely when I told them about this. Haven't seen the pic since it opened; wonder what I'd think of it now?
