This is the third time Richard Matheson's novel, I Am Legend has been adapted to film, the first starred Vincent Price, and the second starred Charlton Heston. All three have a different take, although the Vincent Price version was a little closer to Matheson's novel, and all three are good movies. This one, with Will Smith starring, is, in some ways, probably the best of the three, even though I am partial to Charlton Heston's version. The only question I have is what the heck happened to my copy of the novel? sigh
Great write-up, thanks for sharing.
