		<description><![CDATA[    It used to be the conventional wisdom that a movie always dumbed-down the novel it was based on. When film was a new medium, film makers assumed audiences needed to be led by the hand. But even a few decades down the line, we had those awful versions of A Farewell [...]]]></description>
