I read the book first. Kurosawa's "Ran" is NOT an adaption of "King Lear" but is certainly heavily influenced by it, and it is a fabulous film (and its not a bad play either). In this case I saw the play (haven't read it yet) before the film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-85820079211700297692007-07-13T13:00:00.000+01:002007-07-13T13:00:00.000+01:00Gopher was an excellent addition to the cast of Wi...Gopher was an excellent addition to the cast of Winnie the Pooh, I feel. But never mind.<BR/>The Cider House Rules film is a significant improvement on the book (I assume... I couldn't get beyond the first dozen chapters or so). To Kill A Mockingbird is an excellent adaptation that stayed very true to the spirit (and, largely, the content) of the source novel.<BR/>The worst? Captain Corelli's Mandolin was a pretty poor film of a superb book... I also saw a TV version of Cards on the Table by Agatha Christie, in which they changed who the murderer was.
