METHOD OF KILLING - in the book, it's wire over a fence, in the film, it's some kind of drug;
KILLER - in the book, it's Uncle George, Alan's girlfriend's uncle - at least, the girl who ultimately becomes his girlfriend - in the film, it's a policeman.
The girl doesn't appear in the film - unless those sequences were cut from the version I saw.
Mind you - I was watching it late at night and I had to keep the telly turned down, so it was a struggle to hear what was going on.
Difficult trying to base a film on a book - bits of dialogue often have to be removed and small liberties are taken with the plot.
