My recollection is that the Joan Crawford character is far more important in the movie than in the book. In the book she's an editor who is a minor character in the first third or so of the book, then goes away.

The movie also offers a far more conventional and sanitized version of things.

But I do have it on my Netflix list, so I should be watching it fairly soon.
