According to The AP, the film chronicles the recently deceased author's affair with Eugene O'Neil's daughter and his penchant for maintaining total control over his work.
It includes interviews with the likes of Tom Wolfe, Edward Norton, E.L. Doctorow and Gore Vidal, plus five extra minutes that have yet to be screened for "security reasons".
Salerno is still to reveal whether those five minutes contain new footage of the notoriously reclusive writer. Further, there is no mention of a vault of unpublished works.
"I love how he had the world at his doorstep and said, 'No thanks'," Salerno commented, referring to Salinger's firm anti-Hollywood stance. "He somehow understood, in 1951, the corrosive effect that fame and money could have on his writing."
