Thursday Movie Picks / Book Adaptations

Image
 I am writing this post for the Thursday Movie Picks hosted by Wandering through the Shelves .  The theme for this Thursday is: Book Adaptations.     Seven Keys to Baldpate (1929)  This is a very charming movie loosely based on the 1913 book by Earl Derr Biggers. (I think it was more based on the 1913 play with George M. Cohan.)   Piccadilly Jim (1936)  This is a very fun adaptation of P. G. Wodehouse's 1917 novel.   A Damsel in Distress (1937) This musical is a very fun adaptation of P. G. Wodehouse's 1919 novel.  It's not extremely accurate, but its a very fun movie with Fred Astaire and George Burns and Gracie Allen.
