Book Vs. Movie: 1984
The 1949 Classic Novel Vs. the 1984 Adaptation
The Margos continue their look at âBanned Booksâ in September with the novel 1984, which is set in a dystopian world dominated by a totalitarian regime that enforces complete obedience and constant surveillance. The protagonist, Winston Smith, works at the Ministry of Truth, altering historical records to fit the Party's narrative. He questions the Party's authority despite outward compliance and secretly documents his dissent. The story culminates in Winston's imprisonment and torture, leading to his ultimate betrayal and psychological manipulation. The 1984 film adaptation, directed by Michael Radford, is considered one of the most faithful to Orwell's novel.

Book Vs. Movie: Donât Look Now
The Daphne DuMaurier Short Story Vs. the Nicolas Roeg Film
RIP Donald Sutherland! (1935-2024)
Due to the passing of actor extraordinaire Donald Sutherland, we are replaying our "Don't Look Now" episode.
This week, let's talk about Daphe DuMaurier's short story "Don't Look Now," published in 1971 and adapted into a film by director Nicolas Roeg. The story follows a couple, John and Laura, as they cope with the loss of their daughter while on vacation in Venice. They meet twin sisters with psychic abilities who warn them about their son's safety. The film closely follows the story but is controversial for a suggestive scene between the main characters. Despite this, the movie is considered a horror classic known for its editing and acting.
In this ep, the Margos discuss:
The life of Daphne DuMaurier
The plot of the story in the original version versus the film
The controversy around the movie and why it is considered a classic horror tale
The cast: Julie Christie (Laura Baxter,) Donald Sutherland (John Baxter,) Hilary Mason (Heather,) Clelia Metania (Wendy,) Massimo Serato (Bishop Barbarrigo,) Renato Scarpa (Inspector Longhi,) Giogio Trestini (Workman,) Leopoldo Trieste (hotel manager,) David Tree (Anthony Babbage,) Ann Rye (Mandy Babbage,) Nicholas Salter (Johnny Baxter,) Sharon Williams (Christine Baxter,) Bruno Cattaneo (Detective Sabbione,) and Adelina Poerio as the murderer.

It follows Holmes and Watson as they investigate the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin.
