Oh, no!!!  I hope not Spielberg!

One of the most wonderful things about "The Colour Purple" is that it is
written in the form of letters to God or between sisters.  These letters
depict the evolution of those two sisters so well I cannot imagine how a
movie would be able to do justice to this wonderful book.
