Film of the Book

on BBC Radio 4 FM

The last of four programmes looking at film versions of famous novels.
Saturday Night and Sunday Morning
When Alan Sillitoe 's screen adaptation of his own novel was first released in 1960, audiences felt that British movies had finally grown up - with Albert Finney thumbing his nose at authority, a new kind of hero was born. But
Christopher Cook finds many differences between Sillitoe's original novel and Karel Reisz 's film version. With soundtrack illustrations and readings from the book by Paul McGann.
