What was Algren's position on Hollywood adaptations of his work?

  • Supportive

  • Interfering

  • Indifferent

  • Disapproving

Answer

Algren generally disapproved of Hollywood adaptations of his work, believing that they oversimplified and distorted his stories. He felt that the film industry was focused on commercial success rather than artistic integrity, and he worried that his books would be misrepresented or watered down to appeal to a wider audience. As a result, he often clashed with producers and studios during the adaptation process.
