Books vs Films - guess the film/book

[Snaketibe]

Sorry, that might be a brilliant guess for all I know, but I haven't read it. I'm thinking of something very different!

One from me

I’m crap at this, was 100% I was on the money with Rebecca! A classic!

OK, I'll go again, but only because I already had another one lined up and ready to go... And this one really IS easy... if you've read the book!

Book on the left, film on the right:

I assume the difference is bronze vs gold, or winning in the movie to placing in the book but I’m devoid of an actual answer

One from me

Moneyball?

 

[lejackal]

Popping this here whilst I have it in my mind, book left, film bastardisation on the right

 

[Michael Sith]

Not money ball think of bingo 2 little ducks!

In that case….

Gotta be Fever Pitch?

 

[lejackal]

Gotta be Fever Pitch?

Yep. Changing WW2 history is bad enough, changing Arsenal for a stickball team is unforgivable, although Hornby changed his own book for the British adaptation as well

 

[Michael Sith]

Catch 22 yes!

OK, a clue for my last one then:

It's something every single one of us here SHOULD know, but I'm guessing many don't. The book absolutely was a bestseller in its day, however I think it's fair to say the film is far better known

Star Wars?

 

[Snaketibe]

Correct! In George Lucas' novelization, C-3PO is bronze, not gold
