I hope you get to read the book and watch the film so that I can read your combined book-to-movie post.Prashant C.

I'm not even remotely familiar with screenwriters and their films and wouldn't quite know how to analyse films the way you do. Prashant C.

I don't remember it at all but that was a long time ago. He had not remembered that Peter Stone was the screenwriter, so thanks to Sergio for that information. I wonder if the book is any good? I could do a book to movie post if it was... someday.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-9242279293935558512013-10-04T08:40:28.367-07:002013-10-04T08:40:28.367-07:00Hmmm....never heard of either I'm afraid Prash...Hmmm....never heard of either I'm afraid Prashant.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-23387436500035499462013-10-04T07:00:22.837-07:002013-10-04T07:00:22.837-07:00I remember quite liking the movie but attributed t...I remember quite liking the movie but attributed the cleverness of the story to Peter Stone, a smart screenwriter responsible for the likes of CHARADE for instance - I'll look out for the book though to see how they compare - thanks Prashant.
