Description

Watching the movie or television version of a classic mystery story is often a frustrating experience for the reader because so many changes are often made by the filmmakers, not all of them satisfying. In Mystery Classics on Film, the author takes a look at the screen versions of 65 famous mysteries, showing where the filmmakers either helped or seriously failed the telling of the story. The author is an experienced critic of both movies and television and his insight also includes his private talks with several famous mystery writers who comment on how filmmakers treated their work. Because so many of these books and films are widely-known, you don't have to be a mystery fanatic to enjoy reading about this often fascinating process of turning a book into a film.
