[Non-Sequitur]

Having read the book first I confess I was underwhelmed by the movie. It's almost impossible to translate an outstanding book into an outstanding movie, IMHO. Probably because a good book will suck you in and stimulates your imagination until you can visualize what the author is writing. Shane was like that. To Kill a Mockingbird was like that, too. Killer Angels is another. How can any movie compete with your own imagination?

I've only read two books where the movie version was better: The Loved One and Dr. Strangelove.
