Perfect adaptation of the book...well, as good as you can get. I do believe, however, that in the movie as well as in the book, the color of the Canada mint was white. I think it was wintergreen, and those are pink. Am I correct or mistaken?

I would say almost every main character was bigtime famous except maybe Purcy. Even the Deputy was huge for how small his part was. They really pulled some strings on this one and came out with a success for sure.

I second that!

I don't know if the short story is just the right length for a screen play or what, but I think those 3 are the most accurate renderings of the original stories.
