"When Worlds Collide" was pretty close to the book by Balmer
(or was it Wylie?...or both?).
Of course, many sf films are "right on" the book because the
book was written after (or as part of) the film). Sometimes
sf films are based on elements of several "books" hooked together.
I used to be able to demonstrate that thesis with "2001" but I have
forgotten, now.
