Re: [MOPO] favoite Move from a Play
My favorite movie from a play, in fact it borders on being a filmed play with the the stage curtain effect at the beginning is the 1952 Anthony Asquith directed The Importance of Being Earnest. It also comes with one of my favorite lines: Lady Augusta Bracknell: Are your parents living? Jack: I have lost both my parents. Lady Augusta Bracknell: To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness. Also: Lady Augusta Bracknell (delivered as only Edith Evans could): A hndbaaag!

Re: [MOPO] favoite Move from a Play
DIAL M FOR MURDER is an excellent choice...but how about A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, or CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF, or WHO'S ARAID OF VIRGINIA WOLFF, or WATCH ON THE RHINE? Those are among my favorites. This, of course, assumes that you are exclding MUSICAL plays, as a separate category...because then you'd have to add in THE SOUND OF MUSIC, MY FAIR LADY, WEST SIDE STORY, THE KING AND I ...and on and on...

Re: [MOPO] favoite Move from a Play
THE BAD SEED play ending was the same as the book, where the mother dies and someone tells her husband that at least he has little Rhoda to comfort him...ha! The movie ending was forced by the Production Code, that stated at the time that all wrongdoing must be punished in the end. It was an absurd finish to an otherwise cool movie (although the curtain call' at the end where Patty McCormack got a spanking was even dumber.)

Re: [MOPO] favoite Move from a Play
Philadelphia Story. Casablanca is probably cheating, as the play didn't make it to the stage before it was converted into the movie. Devil Girl From Mars apparently came from a play – about time it got a West End/Broadway revival!
