Movie Adaption
Irene and Louis Kamp adapted the novel for the screenplay of a 1962 movie of the same title starring William Holden, Trevor Howard, Capucine, and the young Pamela Franklin as Tina (Patricia of the novel).
Directed by cinematographer Jack Cardiff and filmed on location in East Africa, it was made for a budget of $4,345,000 - a costly film for its time. Film critic Leonard Maltin found the beautiful scenery to be "far better than the melodrama."
It earned rentals in North America of $1.3 million.
