The first major difference between the written story from the film is that Sam is a young man who was Jeffries’s accomplice but in the film, it is an old lady who just comes to take his temperature and clean around the house. She also has a really close relationship with Jeffries more like a grandson and grandmother relationship. She advised him about Lisa and how he should get marry or confirm his relationship with her.  The second major difference is Jeffries’s love interest makes an appearance and is part of several major scenes in the film but in the written story, Lisa was never mentioned nor referred to at any point. At the beginning of the film, Lisa has plans to do a romantic date for Jeffries since he can’t mobilize much. Jeffries’s interaction with Lisa is somewhat dry because he doesn’t show much affection towards her. He just keeps her around because she helps him and because everyone else is telling him she is a good catch. The relationship between the two will become stronger and they will be closer.

One minor difference between the written story from the film is that Jeffries is a Photographer. In the written story, his description of things gave the reader hints and assumptions that he maybe something from a detective to maybe a private investigator. The second difference is the neighbor’s descriptions. In the film, as per Jeffries’s description, there is The Torso girl which is a young ballerina dancer. Ms. Lonely Hearts is a lady who lives by herself and was so lonely that death was her friend. The Newlyweds are in the honeymoon phase and one that no one will ever forget. Ms. Hearing Aid is an artist of very odd and strange art. In the written story, Jeffries mentions a couple with two teen kids and A lady with a child and that was all he mentioned about his neighbors before the major event.
