Is it necessarily true that a good film results from a good novel? Perhaps good films can be made from average or less than average novels. After all, the novelist might have a very good plot and characters but poor execution and craftsmanship; then a good scriptwriter, director, and cast can turn the sow's ear into a silk purse. For example, I can think of a number of Agatha Christie books that are average but the TV screenplays have turned them into great successes.<br /><br />BTW, new to the crime fiction blogging world (see Crimes in the Library -- my new blog), I look forward to visiting your site again in the future.<br /><br />All the best from one of the estranged colonies across the Atlantic.R.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13220814349193561823noreply@blogger.com
