unlabelledView post →Books to film 📚=🎞️ East of Eden (1952) by John Steinbeck was adapted to film (1955) by Elia Kazan. The film focuses on the latter parts of the novel, removing the back story & important characters such as Lee. There is also a greater focus on the Cain & Abel sibling rivalry. 📖✍️🌾 #filmsky #booksky
