Swing Shift found Flemming in New York, where he's working on an unrelated off-Broadway show. I even went to the conference in Dallas. I'm interested in how people's lives can come to be devoted to finding out what happened.

It's just imagination. Sure, Bill Gates is a rich, powerful American icon, but he's still a person with a pulse, and his life shouldn't be treated so cavalierly. The film, to be sure, is not a happy occasion at Microsoft. Flemming says he hasn't heard from Microsoft. Gee, that's thoughtful.
