Novel to Film by Brian Mcfarlane
`It wasn't as good as the book' - this is the response to many a film adaptation, and even the starting point of many film reviews. Novel to Film is the first sytematic theoretical account of the process by which the great (and not so great) works of literature are transformed into the good, bad (sometimes ugly) but always distinctive medium of cinema. Drawing upon recent relevant literary and film theory, the book provides careful analysis of the theory and practice of metamorphosis. The Scarlet Letter, Random Harvest, Great Expectations, Daisy Miller and Cape Fear provide case studies which represent a range of fiction and cinematic practice.
Brian McFarlane is known as Canada's foremost hockey historian. For three decades he served as a host and commentator on Hockey Night in Canada. Before that, he became the first Canadian to work on U.S. hockey telecasts when he was employed by CBS in 1960 and did most of his interviews on skates. In the '70s, he worked on the NBC telecasts and introduced the world to the beloved cartoon character Peter Puck. Brian has written more than 80 books on hockey, and in 1995 he was inducted into the media section of the Hockey Hall of Fame. He lives in Stouffville, Ontario.
