This book is the first full-length study to focus on the various
film adaptations of Patricia Highsmith's novels, which have been a
popular source for adaptation since Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on
a Train (1952). The collection of essays examines films such as The
Talented Mr. Ripley, The Two Faces of January, and Carol, includes
interviews with Highsmith adaptors and provides a comprehensive
filmography of all existing Highsmith adaptations. Particular
attention is paid to queer subtexts, mythological underpinnings,
philosophical questioning, contrasting media environments and
formal conventions in diverse generic contexts. Produced over the
space of seventy years, these adaptations reflect broad cultural
and material shifts in film production and critical approaches to
film studies. The book is thus not only of interest to Highsmith
admirers but to anyone interested in adaptation and transatlantic
film history.
