The death of reclusive novelist J.D. Salinger at 91 would seem to remove the major obstacle to filming his masterpiece, “The Catcher in the Rye.” Producers have unsuccessfully sought the rights to this and Salinger’s other works for decades, and perhaps his heirs will be more cooperative. The only authorized Salinger screen adaptation to date is “My Foolish Heart” (1949), a Susan Hayward-Dana Andrews movie that was derived from “Uncle Wiggly in Connecticut,” a short story about a soldier and his girl during World War II that J.D. wrote for the New Yorker. Salinger was reportedly appalled by Mark Robson’s movie and refused to let any of his other works be filmed.
