No, But I Saw the Movie: The Best Short Stories Ever Made Into Film

Bruce Jay Friedman

3.8/5 ( ratings)

High Noon. All About Eve. The Fly. Blow-Up. The Heartbreak Kid. The Jazz Singer. Guys and Dolls. Stagecoach. Don't Look Now. Psycho. Behind many of Hollywood's greatest movies are equally great short stories. No, But I Saw the Movie collects more than two dozen of the world's best films as they were originally written, such stories as:

"Rear Window," Cornell Woolrich's tale of innocent voyeurism run mad -- which became a Hitchcock masterpiece; "The Sentinel" by Arthur C. Clarke, the chilling science-fiction tale that was the basis for the smash film 2001: A Space Odyssey; "Night Bus" by Samuel Hopkins Adams, the romance Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert brought to life in It Happened One Night -- winner of an armful of Oscars.

These outstanding stories represent many genres -- comedy, true crime, science fiction, romance, horror -- and each is timeless in its own right. For those who've spent hours in dark theaters enjoying the best films of our century, here is a collection of cinematic tales to delight film buffs and fiction aficionados alike.
