Based on the Book: From Page to Picture Online

Many classic films were inspired by books, with movie studios putting their own “Hollywood touch” on the story. What compelled studios to create these films and make changes? Join film historian Dr. Annette Bochenek for a discussion of classic films based upon books as well as comparisons between text and film. Her program will include photos, video clips, and captivating stories from Pride and Prejudice, Anne of Green Gables, The Thin Man, Wuthering Heights, Rebecca, and Anna and the King of Siam.
