As mentioned in my previous post ("Teacher and pupil"), and in many previous thoughts, I like to compare scenes in the movie with the corresponding passage in the book (obsessed, maybe, but don't worry I'm still taking my medication).
One that comes to mind right now, after taking Alexander S's prompt of how to get a good response to a thread, is how Michael and Kay are reunited.
For those who are well versed in both, which do you prefer?...Michael surprising Kay at the school, or Kay coming to the house at Mama's request/demand and the long dialogue that follows at Michael's apartment.
I suppose that by filming it as it was written wouldn't have added a lot to the movie, other than in terms of time, but this is one of the most blantant examples of change from page to screen.

The Ellis Island name-switch experience was fairly common. My grandfather was an immigrant to the US. My father explained to me that, when his father came over, the immigration officer at Ellis Island simply recorded the first syllable of his last name, which is what we've been called ever since. In the Kazan movie, "America, America," the immigration officer asks Stavros Topozoglou for his name and then simply tells him, "Your name is Joe Arnaz"--not exactly what his parents had in mind when he was christened.

When you properly think about that, it is absolutely disgusting. Throwing peoples heritage out of the window due to sheer laziness and ignorance.

Could you get me off the hook Tom? For old times sake?
