Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Fortune and Men's Eyes (1971)?
a.
Sal Mineo
directed the 1969 Los Angeles production "Fortune and Mens Eyes and played the role of Rocky, a prison bully, who rapes a naive young prisoner, Smitty (played by
Don Johnson
in the L.A. production). Mineos staging emphasized violence and sexuality. He added a scene to the play, staging Rockys rape of Smitty in the prison shower, an event that had been kept off stage in earlier productions. The Los Angeles production, which was eventually moved to New York (without Mineo as an actor) featured full frontal nudity. Mineo also directed a subsequent San Francisco production. Although playwright
John Herbert
did not initially object to Mineos alterations, he vociferously criticized Mineos Los Angeles and New York stagings. (Being a convicted felon, the Canadian Herbert was unable to enter the U.S. to actually see the productions.) Herbert refused to sell him the film rights to his play, and the estrangement obviated any chance of Mineo being involved in the 1971 movie version of the play.

The name varies depending on the source of the translations and subtitles, but the characters name has been referred to as Spokey Dokey, Spooky Donkey and, in the Columbia Tristar distributed version, Sporky Donkey. Although the reason for the different translation is negligible, the Spokey Dokey translation is a reference to a song of the same name in the original series composed by Yoko Kanno, which is heard, amongst other times, at the beginning and end of the first episode, Asteroid Blues.
