I saw the film of Captain Correlli's Mandolin before I read the book, Gayle. I quite enjoyed the film, particularly John Hurt's performance. Then I read the book and realized the story was almost, but not quite, completely different from Hollywood's version and much, much better. It's rare to find a film that matches up to any book.
