We watched the beginning of the film version of the novel so far, which is based on the 1962 version directed by Robert Mulligan.
The film version is based on a screenplay, a series of scenes based on some of the most poignant events in the novel; however, the screenplay is not a replacement of the novel so be sure to read the novel. We are watching the movie to enhance our understanding of the novel and to speed up reading it since it is quite long.
