Some of the most memorable movies of Hollywood's Golden Age were
based on novels that never received the acclaim they deserved.
No-one who saw Rod Steiger in The Pawnbroker 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 They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, Greta Garbo in Susan
Lenox, and Humphrey Bogart in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
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.
