If film choice is a book adaption, written within the time limit, can we use bits from either sources?

This'll be my first time entering one of this pairing's contest, but I like the challenge too much to just lurk! =D

May I claim The Ghost and Mrs. Muir? The film was released in 1947 with the lead role played by Rex Harrison and Gene Tierney.

Please let me know if I need to change anything/do anything else to enter, etc. Thanks!

Because movies adapted from novels tend to cut a lot in order to fit a time frame, elements from both sources will be welcomed.
I look forward to your adaptation, and think it's awesome that you chose this challenge as your first. Thank you!!

I'm so very, very tempted to do this challenge, but I can't think of many '30s to '60s era romance films (most of the movies from that period I've seen are either foreign films or film noir). So, to clarify, would something like "Singing in the Rain" count, or does everything have to be based on things similar to "Gone with the Wind"?

They can be anything from standard fluff to romcom and even sappy tragedies, as long as there is a strong romantic theme with the lead characters. Think Cruel Intentions (or Liasons Dangereux), with the death of the female lead at the end.

I might do it. I'm not sure yet. I hardly know any movies from that time, so I'd have to look into it.

I don't expect everyone to do it, that would be pretentious, but even just reading the fics that are written is supporting this challenge.
I look forward to reading what everyone has written.
Oh, Eldr, it's difficult to pic a film from these time periods, which is the real challenge behind this... Uh... challenge. If you feel up to it, cool, if not, don't worry about it. Take a break. Genius requires rest to manifest properly, right?
God I'm a suck-up. Lol
