Review of To the Devil a Daughter (1976) by Steve E — 22 Jul 2014
Dreadful. I saw this film when it was issued. Most film adaptations have to make some changes from the book (the Devil Rides out is a good example - it simplifies but basically follows the plot) the only connection between the book "To the Devil a daughter" and the film is the name.
It was a completely different story. The book, whilst reflecting Wheatley's political and social views and being rather anachronistic when read 30 or 40 years after publication, was nevertheless a compelling read.
The film was just rubbish.
