"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. Other featured works include: Children of Men - The Color Purple - Crazy Rich Asians - Dr. No - Dune - Gentlemen Prefer Blondes - Kiss Me Deadly - The Last Picture Show - Little Women - Passing - The Princess Bride - The Shining - The Thin Man - True Grit - Valley of the Dolls - The Virgin Suicides - Wuthering Heights"--Publisher marketing.
