So, let me get this straigh...You didn't like the
movie?  You do know, don't you, that it is the only
Irving adaptation on which he served as screenwriter. 
It's kind of interesting to read his book on the
making of that film to find out why he made some of
the decisions he made.
Still, you're right.  The book is much superior.  You
can't put an Irving book in a 2 hour movie.

just a thougth...
