The language was okay, but something I noticed in the film that was not a feature in the book was the drinking. No one gets drunk, but it seems that in nearly every scene the characters are sipping wine or a highball. This was the only departure from the book that I noticed, and I wondered why the director chose to highlight this.

I have not had a chance to see the movie yet, but I wonder if the director chose to de-emphasize smoking and instead emphasize drinking? If I recall correctly, Rand included a lot of smoking in her novels. Can’t have that nowadays.

“”but it seems that in nearly every scene the characters are sipping wine or a highball””

That only happened at a meal or at a party - nearly every scene???
