They made significant changes to the plot, also. Instead of the life of Van Gogh, the movie was about a fellow named George Lust, who was a stringer for Life Magazine. One of the more memorable scenes involved Lust's task of searching for Synghman Rhee, who was also a part-time stringer in Korea prior to his election as president.

After looking for the elusive man for some six months, Lust finally caught up to him in a bar outside of Seoul. Lust rushed up to him and said, "Ah, sweet Mr. Rhee of Life, at last I have found you." Brought tears to my eyes.
