I'm reading Les Miserablés by Victor Hugo, I watched the Movie and the actors fit the parts perfectly (Geoffrey Rush was the PERFECT Javert) so I liked that so much that I started the book. If I hadn't watched the Movie I probably wouldn't have stuck with the book.
That's exactly how I feel about Balzac's Cousin Bette, after having seen the terrific 1971 TV series on DVD recently.
