I know, I know. In most cases, when a book is adapted (or ignored except the title-see THE HOBBIT and about ten thousand other books made into film), one always hears this. In this case, 100 percent true. I waited years to see this, after having read the book many times, and was totally disappointed. Over-acting, lack of a budget, why an American as the hero when this takes place in England? I like Cornel Wilde, and he does play a man who, like Ray Milland in Panic in Year Zero, learns to be brutal. But the movie drags in far too many places and some the of the actors are pretty wooden. It attempts to show society fall apart and tear itself up, but falls a little short.
