A look at Ophüls filmography, particularly the films "La Ronde," "Caught," and "The Reckless Moment," can allow insight into popular American literature of the mid-twentieth century and its effects on other film adaptations of the period. Furthermore, the author discusses the effects of this thesis on auteur theory, which is often ignored when discussing literary adaptations. The necessity of learning how and why filmmakers adapt literary material is emphasized." [Ebsco]
