Negative Positive
Title: A huge disappointment.
Review: The worst screenplay adapted from a novel I have ever seen. The plot clarity and witty dialogue from the book are completely missing. The murder of an American soldier that the book and movie center around is committed by a different character in the movie than in the book, and much less plausibly so. A Jewish (minor) character in the book has identified other Jews to the Nazis to save her own neck. In the movie, this collaboration is confessed by the heroine, which is totally out of character. In the book the Nazi rocket scientist goes to American with his wife at the end; in the movie his is killed. And Lena, the heroine, who in the book is a conflicted and sympathetic character, turns out in the movie to be capable of murder and collaboration. I rated the book 4 and the movie 1.
