If you see the movie, there's no need to read the book. The script of the movie is almost the same as the book, so you can kind of read along, although you won't find everything there. Some scenes from the movie were different. Like the part when Lennie was in Crooks' room, in the book, Candy was suppose to come in. And in the movie they added an extra scene, the one where Curley's Wife runs away from Lennie and George, crying. Other then that, the book is like the movie.

Unlike the book, the movie makes the story come alive, especially the characters. This movie is tear jerking, especially the part where Curley and Lennie get into a fight, and the dog part. Gary Sinise and John Malkovich did a great performance. Gary Sinise also made a tape/audio for the book, which is wonderful as well.

This movie is about the peasant girl who helped crown the Dauphin. If you are a history person, you'll notice that not everything that happened was in the film. Also, Ingrid Bergman made Joan seem somewhat annoying in this movie, she whines too much. But I think she fit this part well, plus most things in the movie were true. Again, this is a Hollywood film, so you can't always trust it as completely accurate.
