Somewhere in the previous 95 replies, I may have already mentioned that Ayn Rand wrote a decent screenplay of her own novel, The Fountainhead, which produced a decent film starring Gary Cooper. Rand managed to avoid the common problem of the film not having enough time to cover the material in the book by fusing characters and events together while maintaining the spirit of the book. She could do that because her characters and events were just stark symbols in the first place.
