* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: Arguably. The film hews very close to the book for the most part, but the ending (though it eliminates some revelations about Phyllis) is both spatially and temporally more compact. Its main differences are in the dialogue (Chandler believed Cain's dialogue wouldn't translate well to the screen) and the use of the [[Framing Device]] of Neff recounting the story into the Dictaphone.
