ADAPTATIONS OF F. 451
• The feature length film was made in 1966 and directed by Francois Truffaut. The actors are often British and the main actor who plays Montag is German.
• Major changes: Mildred’s name is Linda, Clarisse doesn’t die and she’s actually a school teacher, there’s no Faber and Clarisse takes his place, no atomic bomb, and no mechanical hound.
• While we watch the film, take down details that you think are important in figuring out what makes the film good or bad. A detail would not be: the music was bad. A detail would be that the music is repetitive in such and such scene.
