I remember Bradford Dillman getting the cockroaches to form letters on the wall, but that's about it. I found the book at a second-hand stall a little later and it has been a favourite ever since; but I've no idea what the film does with the Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18076353733931722397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596790.post-90371869881432525552012-10-06T02:40:50.633+01:002012-10-06T02:40:50.633+01:00My brother and I were just talking about Bug.
