By Dina Schein Federman
In the 1940s Ayn Rand wrote adaptations for Hollywood producer Hal Wallis. Dr. Federman tells the plots of these new treasures: adaptations “The Crying Sisters,” “You Came Along,” “Love Letters,” and “House of Mist,” as well as the original screenplay “Top Secret.”
These screenplays bear the Ayn Rand stamp: unusual situations, great conflicts, passionately valuing characters, and serious themes. Dr. Federman discusses these issues and examines how the adaptations differ from the original novels.
