No, but he played me, as Frank Sinatra was busy. That Papillon was a lying bastard, it was me that was the hard guy. How can anybody with a name that means "butterfly" be tough?
Nope never been arrested for drunken frolics hence never been to jail. I am very good at evading arrest. My balance and speed are both exceptional. The law is no match for me.
The film is not nearly as good as the book, but the second book, "Banco"(?) isn't great though, although still worth a read.
I did a few "weekenders" locally when younger - mainly for being drunk (once for possesion of a lump of hash). Also, spent 24 hours in a Spanish cell getting the **** kicked out of me every couple of hours by Spanish cops in Lorett Del Mar ... I was 18 and drunk on cider n sangria, I decided to run the lenghth of a street - across all the parked cars! Got a fine of about £250!
Spent a night in the cells for pissing in the street many years ago and vowed it would never, ever happen again. Fingers crossed......
