The book is highly recommended--did Charles Williams ever write a
really bad book? The movie is well worth seeing, but with one
reservation. For about the first 87 minutes, it's an excellent &
astonishing faithful adaptation of Williams's book--even a lot of the
dialog is taken from the novel. Unfortunately, it would have had to be
2 1/2 hours or so to finish the book, so the ending is sudden, abrupt,
and disappointing. Sigh.
But man, that Julie London. Were Jack Webb & Bobby Truop lucky bastards
or what?
