- Abstract
The article presents problems in filming literary piece to motion pictures that are encountered by producers in the film society since 1899. Problems are being experienced on the dialogues and the heroic proportion's screen. It mentions that the release briefness was beset on the film fiction of earliest adapters. Kalem Co.'s litigating incident led to the U.S. Supreme Court decision on the implementation of legal rights violation in the filming of a literary or dramatic property, which the company spent more than $25,000 for the damage. Adaptation of filmed novels will be explored by Dryden Theatre Film Society to differentiate a filmed novel from a novel. It includes American adaptations and French productions which serves as a reference in examining motion pictures.
