The book has been filmed twice. The first, made in 1956, stars Creator/RobertWagner as Bud, Virginia Leith as Ellen, and Creator/JoanneWoodward as Dorothy. This version [[AdaptedOut eliminates]] the third sister Marion.
The second, made in 1991, is completely different, though it eliminates the third sister as well. Creator/MattDillon plays Jonathan Corliss and Creator/SeanYoung plays twins Ellen and Dorothy Carlsson. In this version, Dorothy is killed by Jonathan during the first few minutes of the film, and at the end, Jonathan is run over by a train after Ellen learns the truth.
