Sirk remade three films that were originally directed by John M. Stahl in the 1930s, his versions based on fictions by well-known novelists. This chapter focuses on how the various intersections and divergences between the three versions of “the same story” amount to an implicit dialogue, even a three-way debate, between a novelist and two filmmakers (and their other collaborators) about how best to tell that story.

Keywords:   Adaptation, John M. Stahl, Lloyd C. Douglas, James M. Cain, Fannie Hurst
