I have read and enjoyed "The Illustrated Man" by Ray Bradbury, a classic of science fiction literature. The movie version starring Rod Steiger left me disappointed. It simply does not do the book justice! The visual effects were only as good as was available at the time, and only three stories by Bradbury were showcased. My favorite story from the book was "The Other Shoe." I wonder if the racial element of that story might have been to controversial to include in the film version. If a movie were made of "The Illustrated Man" today, it could take full advantage of the special effects technology available. But, considering the number of stories in the famed anthology, perhaps a TV miniseries might be better.
