Charade - Movie Review

Charade, staring Cary Grant as Peter Joshua, and Audrey Hepburn as Reggie Lampert, directed by Stanley Donen, and released in 1963, is a good example of a romantic-comedy-espionage-thriller – a genre crossover that’s hard to pull off.

The Thirty-Nine Steps is a perennial favourite for movie adaptations, having been dramatised many times for film, television, radio and theatre. The most famous adaptation is Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 version. Hitchcock took the original conspiracy thriller and turned it into a romantic comedy-thriller.

Rogue Male - Book and Movie Review and Analysis

Rogue Male was filmed as Man Hunt in 1941, directed by Fritz Lang and starring Walter Pidgeon and George Sanders. The plot is largely faithful to the novel, although the Englishman is helped by, and falls in love with, a woman who helps him during his escape. The end is very similar to the novel.

Firefox: Book Review

Firefox was filmed in 1982, produced, directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. The movie is faithful to the book. Some of the special effects look a little dated now, as it was pre-CGI, but Clint Eastwood is pretty good as Gant. If you like the book you’ll like the film and vice-versa.
