chickenfeet: (casablanca)
I read the Hemingway novel today. I don't think I've ever read a novel where the film adaptation bears so little resemblance to the book. Both the book and the film have a boat, a drunk and a character called Harry but then so does Henry V. Beyond that, points of commonality cease entirely. Not least because the film is very good and has Lauren Bacall and the book isn't and doesn't.
