In the film and reading there are a few different events that took place that didn’t in another. Before I get into the differences I would like to say I’m liking the film so far rather than the book, but that’s another time. The first major difference between the written story and the film is in the book Sam is a man who is Jeffries’s accomplice Sam is someone who would do anything for Jeffries, but in the film “Sam” is an old lady who comes to take care of Jeffries she would come in the mornings change his clothes, make his bed just like a caretaker would do. . Another major difference I would say is in the book we were never given the profession of Jeffries, but in the few minutes of the film it was given that he is a photographer. In the reading I had some speculations about what he did because the way he talks made it seem like he was an investigator or detective just by the way he was so observant. I would say that this very important information for us to know in the text because it would’ve given us an understanding of his behavior especially how he was acting in the beginning of the text.  An important information is in the reading there was no hints or talks  about his love life, and of course in the film there is a moment about him and his lover you would say that is a detail you wouldn’t want to leave out. A minor difference we see is the film doesn’t really focus on Mr. and Mrs. Thorwald, whereas in the reading it focuses on the couple. Another minor difference is in the film Jeffries first focus is on a young ballerina, Ms. Lonely Hearts who lives by herself, and the Newlyweds who are still in the honeymoon phase, and as you would guess the story Jeffries only spoke or mention a lady with two kids.
