That way the publishers can get the unwary to buy a book they already own plus they can get a free ride from the movie publicity.

Then again some movies use a novel's title but have little resemblance to the book. To Have and Have Not is an example. I think the basic plot of the Hemingwway novel is actually pretty closely followed in the John Garfield starrer, The Breaking Point. Mark
