Actually, If I recall correctly, The Heart of Darkness has been made into a movie three times. In one, a 1958 TV movie version. . . Boris Karloff played Kurtz. It's even been made into an Opera. In 1978, Francis Ford Coppola moved the setting from the Congo to the Mekong Delta, and changed the story's name to Apocalypse Now and made a mint with Marlin Brando as Colonel Walter E. Kurtz and Martin Sheen in the "Marlow" role, Captain Benjamin L. Willard.

Thanks for the info. I saw Apocalypse when it came out and knew it was based on Conrad’s book. The Making of Apocalypse Now by Coppola’s wife is a fascinating documentary as well. I didn’t know about the Karloff & Malkovitch versions. Do you happen to know if they are any good?
