Neither movie was like the book on which they were based. If you’re interested in reading the original (if you haven’t already done so), you can get it free from these sites or 99 cents from Amazon. The book has a twist at the end that isn’t in the movies.

Wow! Tom Thanks for that! I did not know what if anything that was based on and just a piece of trivia I saw the original broadcast on network tv (in black and white

) when I was a kid and it totally blew me away! I blame that experience for the way I am today.
