I had read the book, and my soon to be fiancé asked me on our first date to see the movie. I knew he was a real tease and warned him not to try to spook me during the scary scenes. But in one of the scenes not in the book, the head drops out of the hole in the sinking boat. I screamed and grabbed my date! Lots of laughs about it over the forty-seven years we’ve been married, and we watch it at every opportunity.
I’m a retired school librarian and find most movies based on books don’t live up to the source, some seem only to use the title. But in this case the movie is definitely better than the book.
Great work, as usual. 👍
