composer Ottmar Gerster and librettist , which had its premiere in Düsseldorf on 15 November 1936. In popular culture In Evelyn Sharp's 1897 children's novel The Making of a Schoolgirl, the girls put on a play of Enoch Arden for a student's birthday. The Guy de Maupassant story "Le Retour" has a similar plot. Enoch Arden, the 1911 film directed by D. W. Griffith, is based on this poem. The 1915 film of the same name was directed by Christy Cabanne. The 1925 Australian film The Bushwhackers is based on this poem. Franklin Wescott in the 1936 novel Anne of Windy Poplars, the fourth book in the Anne of Green Gables series, says, "Those last two lines in Enoch Arden made me so mad one night, I did fire the book through the window. But I picked it up the next day for the sake of the Bugle Song." The 1940 comedy film Too Many Husbands was based on the story, with Jean Arthur playing the wife of the returning husband, played by Fred MacMurray. It was remade in 1955 as Three for the Show, with Betty Grable, Jack Lemmon, Marge Champion and Gower Champion. The 1940 screwball comedy film My Favorite Wife is a comic inversion of Enoch Arden. Agatha Christie referenced the poem in three stories. "While the Light Lasts", a short story first published in The Novel Magazine in April 1924, has its protagonist Tim Nugent suffer the same chain of events as did Arden. The same plot arc was used, to greater effect, as part of Giant's Bread (1930), the first of six novels written by Christie under the pseudonym of Mary Westmacott.. Finally, in the crime novel Taken at the Flood (1948), the character Charles Trenton is lost in the South African bush and presumed dead; upon his return, he uses the pseudonym "Enoch Arden" as he attempts to blackmail his wife Rosaleen and her new family. The 1946 film Tomorrow Is Forever, starring Claudette Colbert, Orson Welles and George Brent, is based on the poem, although no writing or adaptation credit is given to Tennyson. Move Over, Darling is a 1963 remake of My Favorite Wife, starring Doris Day, James Garner and Polly Bergen. This project was undertaken after the 1962 Marilyn Monroe version, Something's Got to Give, was aborted upon Monroe's death. The 1966 Konkani film Nirmon is based on this story. The
