In 1963, the novel was competently adapted for the screen, and the resulting film has been in the public domain for about ten years. Although it doesn't have nearly the effect of the novel, and although they copped out by giving the film a relatively happy ending, we're posting it here for some leisurely Friday evening viewing.
