Summary: "Going beyond the process of adaptation of literature to film, Geraghty is more interested in the films themselves and how they draw on our sense of recall. While a film reflects its literary source, it also invites comparisons to our memories of and associations with other versions of the original. For example, a viewer may watch the 2005 big-screen production of Pride and Prejudice and look back on the BBC's 1995 mini-series as well as Jane Austen's novel. Adaptations also rely on the conventions of genre, editing, acting, and sound to engage with our recollections-elements that many movie critics tend to forget when focusing solely on faithfulness to the written word."-BOOK JACKET

Summary: Tennessee Williams on the screen has been a touchstone of the growing maturity of American ilm production. Film versions of his plays have had a profound and lasting influence on the movies, beginning with A Streetcar Named Desire in 1961. This is the first book-length study of all the films made from his plays- The Glass Menagerie, The Rose Tattoo and others. Maurice Yacowar deals with them in purely cinematic terms. Each film is considered as a new work in a new medium, not merely as a less than faithful version of a play. [Taken from BOOK JACKET]
