Does anybody know if ther was ever a movie based on Henry James' Beast In The Jungle? I'd love it on principle. The story is enjoyable in a way for it's excruciating moronic suspense, and to make a film of it would be even stupider. All the way through you can't help thinking FALL IN LOVE YOU IDIOT! MESS UP YOUR LIFE SOMEHOW! DO SOMETHING! or, rather like Woody to Buzz in Toystory shouting YOU'RE A CHARACTER IN A STORY! The climactic resolution is a great literary Duh!
