Wasnt it the tramp whom they beat to death - and the book was R James..
That movie gave the cold shivers..

This opens a whole new can of worms! How many films would contain
references to crystallography if only the screenwriter hadn't decide to
omit the reference in favour of something else more fun.

Subject: [ccp4bb] X-Ray films
Hi
Not a question about films for recording X-rays on, but a question
about films about X-rays, Crystallography and related subjects!
I was wondering what ccp4bbers favourite movies involving real
science, especially crystallography might be? If they're from
Hollywood, though, I'd guess it should be "favorite"...
I'm a little tired, but the only one I can think of at the moment is
actually based on results from fibre diffraction - "Life Story", with
Jeff Goldblum. There must be others, though.
