No-one who saw Rod Steiger in \u003ci\u003eThe Pawnbroker\u003c\/i\u003e could forget the actor's wrenching performance but does anyone remember the author of the book on which the film was based? The same can be said of Jane Fonda in \u003ci\u003eThey Shoot Horses, Don't They?\u003c\/i\u003e, Greta Garbo in \u003ci\u003eSusan Lenox\u003c\/i\u003e, and Humphrey Bogart in \u003ci\u003eThe Treasure of the Sierra Madre\u003c\/i\u003e. This book retrieves these novels and re-evaluates the careers of the eight neglected novelists whose works inspired eight different directors – among them Stanley Kubrick, Sidney Lumet, John Huston and Sidney Pollack. Each chapter offers detailed analysis on both the original text and the resulting movie. Taken together, the double examination of novel and film raises some important questions about the nature and problems of cinematic adaptation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781474291620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40607520587982,"sku":"9781474291620","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_791d500e-9e73-4d8f-8bb0-544c699512a0.jpg?v=1638147419","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781474291620","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
