Hell, that's an interesting challenge you've set! If anyone can do it, i bet Mark E can!
>I'll pick up on Kakki's point though, and ask if anyone can name a movie >that has COMPLETELY captured the essence of a novel of this length? I almost said The Color Purple, but i read teh book about six years ago and can't quite rememebr if the film is true to the book. It's certainly true to the *spirit* of the book. Hell, do movie versions of plays count? IF so, then i think the movei Titus is a brilliant adaptation of Shakespeares Titus Andronicus; though the whole point is how different the movie is while remaining within the confines of the original script. I'll add that i loved the movei Delores Claiborne, not just because it brought together two of my favourite actresses and the wonderful Christopher Plummer, but because the atmosphere was perfect! Not quite the book, but still great! GARRET
