H.G. Wells: Six Scientific Romances Adapted for Film

Thomas Renzi examines the major films adapted from H.G. Wells's most popular science fiction novels, among them The Invisible Man, The Island of Dr. Moreau, and The War of the Worlds. He considers a Wells story for its plot and themes and then compares it with the film or films adapted from it, gauging the degree to which each film has captured the author's intent.
