Christopher Tolkien: kill HOBBIT film - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Mr. Hicklin (or anyone) do you know what the deal is with this 'tax bill'? I might have missed something, but I don't recall Hammond and Scull mentioning it.

The 'picture' (albeit general) that I get from Chronology is that Tolkien was in need of cash during the 'Zimmerman Days' due to retiring IIRC -- but later JRRT appears to leave the film stuff largely up to A&U, due to his earlier promise.

No?
