| Summary |
"Within these pages, Turner Classic Movies offers an endlessly fascinating look at 52 beloved screen adaptations and the great reads that inspired them. Some films, like Clueless -- Amy Heckerling's interpretation of Jane Austen's Emma -- diverge wildly from the original source material, while others, like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, shift the point of view to craft a different experience within the same story. Author Kristen Lopez explores just what makes these works classics of both the page and screen, and why each made for an exceptional adaptation -- whether faithful to the book or exemplifying cinematic creative license." -- Back cover. |
