What's interesting and unusual is how closely the screenplay sticks to the book. Apparently, as his first American screenplay, Polanski wasn't aware that adaptations could stray from the source material.

The movie actually came first--Clarke and Kubrick more or less wrote the film together and then Clarke adapted the book from their screenplay.

That was based on a book which many people forget about while I would've also vouched for <i>The Immortal Story</i> by Orson Welles which was based on Karen Blixen's story. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-27864077512997346142020-05-15T21:17:18.444-05:002020-05-15T21:17:18.444-05:00I don't hate your order, honestly.

I'd take everything you said about Lion in Winter and apply it to Rosemary's Baby while putting it in second and letting Lion keep its prize. <br /><br />Perhaps it's because I return to Lion much more than Rosemary though it's a fine picture. It's just not my kind of repeat viewing. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
