Elmore Leonard, clearly one our favorite novelists on the planet, chats with legendary producer Walter Mirisch. Elmore Leonard is the author of more than forty novels, and his new one, "Up in Honey's Room," takes us to Detroit during WWII. We meet free-thinking beautiful girls, escaped German prisoners of war, sociopathic Himmler admirers, and get to reacquaint ourselves with Carl Webster, star of a recent Elmore Leonard novel, "The Hot Kid." As always, our only regret about the book is that it ends. Walter Mirisch produced some of the most enduring movies of our time, including "In the Heat of the Night," "The Magnificent Seven," and "West Side Story," to name but a few.
