I've often been disappointed with film adaptations of books I like, but sometimes books I dislike can be improved. I think the film of L P Hartley's The Hireling (http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0070180/usercomments-4) was better than the sentimental melodrama of the book: in the film, no-one dies, and it's more about the psychological damage done by WW1 to all its survivors. (And Peter gets his shirt off.)
