Those kind of books don't translate well to the screen, IMO.

They can't seem to capture the ironic humor.

watched a great oldie: Emperor of the North

Unusual, exciting (and heavily symbolic) action film set during the Depression. Sadistic conductor Borgnine will kill any tramp who tries to cop a ride on his train; legendary hobo Marvin announces he will be the first to succeed. Beautifully filmed in Oregon by Joseph Biroc; taut script by Christopher Knopf and typically muscular Aldrich direction make this a unique entertainment. Initially released as EMPEROR OF THE NORTH POLE

Ernest Borgnine had quite a range..evil in this one. Lee Marvin in supercool mode as the hobo called "A #1"
