    I read there is to be a new film, "Into Darkness" which takes the Conrad novel 'Heart of Darkness' into space.
    I mention this only to say that the book has already come to the big screen as 'Apocalypse Now'. I made the rather sad choice of seeing that film before reading the book. It is said that A-N is loosely based on the novel, but I found it otherwise. All the way through the book I was trying to get into the action, but could only bring to mind the antics of Martin Sheen.
    Moby Dick, though a very good film is thankfully quite different from the book. [I think I have mentioned the Sandwich connection before]
