One of our local tv (non-network) stations advertised that last night they were
showing "The Beast Master" and being a fan of Andre Norton, I thought that I
would watch it.  While it may have been an above average movie (the animals
were wonderful) it certainly did not follow the book at all.  The only
similarity was a man who had a bird (eagle?), large cat, and two ferrets for
companions.  The setting was different, the plot was different, etc.  I would
have thought that the book would have made a good movie, but someone in
Hollywood did not.

No wonder Jean Auel is suing the studios over The Clan of the Cave Bear!
