Stage to screen adaptations..what’s your fave?

Yep the opening up of Chorus Line and it's trendy reorchestrations were a bit grim. Some clever tricks with the mirros but i missed the original choreography - though in there One number, there is that lady who quietly drops out of sight, among the hundred dancers, but is soon back on her feet. Too late to reshoot that.

Oddly enough, people I know who saw only the film found it hilarious. Many of us who saw it on stage = ok, me - found the film version tedious and the timing for comedy off and, as a consequence, the film just didn't work for me. 
I haven't seen Sleuth on stage - but the Olivier/Caine film was brilliant and I think the film used with edits and close-ups and directing the audience's viewpoint to its advantage.
 

I’ve been thinking about this one for a while, it’s a tough question. Moonlight was originally a play, but the play was never produced to my knowledge, so that would be up there. I was a big fan of the Joel Coen Macbeth as well, that’s probably my favourites Shakespeare film adaptation. My number one though would probably be Hyenas, a Senegalese adaptation of The Visit - transposing the play to Africa says a lot about colonialism and the ramifications of it in the post- colonial world. An underseen classic of African cinema.

Thanks edelweiss I enjoyed Betrayal immensely.

Youtube is now suggesting I watch Way up stream. Never seen it on stage but as a kid I was terrified by the man lurking in the reeds ...
