Status Updates From The Ministry of Fear

I’m at the part in the novel I had learned about from the Bonus Features of the Criterion Collection disc of the film, where they discussed a major plot difference between the movie and the book. I’ve reached a development that was not included in the film…and it’s such a wild shift from everything that had gone before it, that I might be confused for a while. Would have been intriguing to have not been forewarned…

My favourite by this author - and I haven’t read much - is The Human Factor, Brighton Rock was great, too. I’ve seen the Fritz Lang film of Ministry of Fear, and I love it. It’s considered “minor Lang”, and I’ve seen ‘M’, and Metropolis, among others, so I get that. It’s a bit like a Hitchcock film, in terms of what he was doing with spy films, but more Film Noir. I know the book is somewhat different (Good!).
