HOLLYWOOD AND THE PROFESSOR by Dr. Albert E. Millar (published posthumously by his daughter, Dr. Heather E. Millar) tells the story of a man and an alien; of a self-published pamphlet and a big-budget blockbuster; of a college professor and a corporate law department.
When Dr. Millar published a small pamphlet with 33 similarities between the story of the E.T. movie and the life of Christ, it hit during the wave of popularity for the little alien . . . and the wave of pirated products. Which led to a cease and desist letter that included the threat of a lawsuit. What followed was the early-80s version of going viral and a fleeting brush with fame he never expected and never wanted.
He wrote about his experience, but never did anything with the manuscript. But his daughter has published the book.
The only question is: Is it worth reading?
