Movie Fight Club: Question 107
We opened up the fighting for all members last week and had a fun run of it. After several rounds, Rosemary took the belt. This week it’s back to normal with Rosemary’s multi-faceted take on a classic question:
What is the best or absolute worst adaptation of a book and why?

Some years ago I saw The Sea of Grass with Tracy/Hepburn. Then I ran across the book by Conrad Richter in a library and in reading it discovered the story is being told by the cattle man's nephew, who is not even in the movie! And looking it up right now to make sure my memory was correct I learned that director Elia Kazan didn't like it, being disappointed that he had to use stock footage on a screen instead of Great Plains location shooting, and that the costumes didn't look realistic enough.
Rosemary already took my favorite adaptation 👏🏻 so as a backup I’ll say…the newer BBC version of Sense and Sensibility. So good. 🙌🏻
