3. wmty

whatever that is:shrug:

produced in 1999:
On a rainy London night in 1946, novelist Maurice Bendrix (Ralph Fiennes) has a chance meeting with Henry Miles (Stephen Rea), husband of his ex-mistress Sarah (Julianne Moore), who abruptly ended their affair two years before. Bendrix's obsession with Sarah is rekindled; he succumbs to his own jealousy and arranges to have her followed.

9. Isn't that based on a Graham Greene novel.

Ever read the novel? Any good? I haven't...

[wildhorses]

10. yes. no. and, i heard it was good--

another book gone to bad in film :shrug:

11. Greene is supposed to be a good writer.

But, I have not read any of his books. It is difficult to make a "classic" especially by a deceased author into a good film. When the filmmakers don't have to answer to a living author, then there can be some serious troubles. That's a generalization, there are a few exceptions.
