H.R. Haggard wrote some great adventure novels, and the few that have been filmed were terrible. Why anyone would want to alter books that are perfect is beyond me. I'm aware that all novels get changed around when they're made into movies, but Haggard's seem to be mutilated more than others.

Oh, by the way, I figured you might be my Secret Santa. If I'm correct, thanks. I'll post more details on the appropriate thread.
