I've read reviews where people refer to the 1970 film as being a failure because it lost money (the fact it lost money is debatable; underperformed maybe?). But money isn't everything anyway! Are films that make truck loads of money of higher quality? I think the 1970 film got the tone right, and much like the film version of The World According To Garp it may have changed the story/plot, however the tone was right. I haven't finished this series yet but it doesn't feel right so far. I'll continue with the series as I love the novel, however I'm expecting the worst... and hoping for the best. So far I'd say watch the 1970 film instead.
