“Gone With The Wind” has always been considered one of the most accurate portrayals of a novel on the big screen.
“Gone With The Wind”
It truly deserves that accolade too. It’s almost uncanny, esp. the clothes. Some outfits, even though they are barely described in the book are just as one imagined them.
It’s probably the greatest chick flick of all time.
Another one that is really good, and more for men, is “The Leopard” with an international cast including Burt Lancaster in the lead.
Great book, great movie. If you see it in Italian with subtitles, much of the subtitled dialogue is right out of the book. That’s the one I’ve seen most, so I’m not sure about the English language version.
‘The outlaw Jose Wales’ was almost word for word accurate to the novel it was adapted from called ‘Gone to Texas’ by Forest Carter.
It’s a very good little read for anyone into historical period western novels.
