I've been watching tons of old movies lately! And recently realized how many of them are adaptations of plays. So often you'll see in the credits 'based on the play by X'. It seems like much fewer movies now are based on plays. Anyways, was watching 'Separate Tables', which is a great movie, and happens to be originally a play....a very interesting example actually, as the original play is two acts, with two separate stories and the main actors play the leads in both stories....in the film version they cut down one of the two stories significantly. I suppose for time.
But anyways. It made me start thinking about what were some of my favorite movies that are originally plays. 12 Angry Men, Indiscreet, and for a rare newer example The Crucible.
Anyone else have any favorites?
