Abstract
Films are often adapted from plays, and at times they are nearly identical. At other times they have almost nothing to do with one another. In films you can do things that are not feasible and at times not possible on stage. This is not to suggest that the film Crimes of the Heart is in any way superior or inferior to the play, but simply, quite different. Although Beth Henley's play and Bruce Beresford's film, Crimes of the Heart, tell essentially the same story, Beresford's additions of certain characters, situations, and settings cause new emotions to be felt, and other emotions to be intensified.
Although they are mentioned within the play, Old Granddaddy, Zackery, and Willie Jay never appear on stage. Each of these characters has large effects on the events that take place and the other characters within the play. Beresford decided to add these three characters to make certain thought surface that did not arise within the play.
