Thanks - but that's pretty much SOP for watching any dramatisation of a
book really, isn't it? :-)

I can think of a few very good ones.

_Watership Down._
_Cold Comfort Farm._

Probably a few others that don't come to mind at the moment.

The original NIGHT OF THE HUNTER was not only very literal in its translation to the screen, but also seems to have captured the spirit. of the book.
