H.G. Wells on film

the long version

"This book is a study of every theatrically released film from 1909 to 1997 that is based even loosely on the writings of H.G. Wells, including The Time Machine, The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds, The First Men in the Moon, The Food of the Gods, and The Empire of the Ants, to name a few.". "For each film, the author discusses the circumstances surrounding its creation, its plot, how it compares with the literary work, its production and marketing, and its strengths and weaknesses based on aesthetic qualities."--BOOK JACKET.
