Diana’s Reviews > No, But I Saw the Movie: The Best Short Stories Ever Made Into Film > Status Update

Not entirely sure how The Real Bad Friend is associated with Psycho other than the author also wrote the book the movie is based on and it has a similar vibe. It would make a good movie though.

I know a lot of people don’t like It’s a Wonderful Life, but I’ve got a bit of a history with it so it means a little more to me and I liked the story just the same. It’s probably somewhat better if only because it’s not as long winded as the movie.

High Noon: I paid about as much attention to the story as I did to the movie.

I guess there’s a conversation worth having about Freaks, both film and story.

Guys and Dolls is a perfect example of good musicals coming from dull stories.

What even is the point of The Heartbreak Kid?

Don’t Look Now: story beats movie. It really was reaching and could use a remake, though I’m sure they’d just go overboard on that too.

I’ve only seen parts of The Fly, probably during a Vincent Price marathon

Skimmed Blow Up, judged it by its movie trailer. I had already read The Body Snatcher but didn’t remember much, I have a faint memory of previously seeing the movie.

Have never seen Bad Day at Black Rock, mainly because I was never able to make it through the story for some reason. This was also the reason I skipped around this book and eventually put it down.

Apparently when I first started this ten years ago I hadn’t watched All About Eve yet, I have multiple times since and love the story even more now.

I've never see the movie All About Eve but I want to, especially after the story.
