High praise for Slaughterhouse Five
-------
"Of the 1971 film version of Slaughterhouse Five , directed by George Roy
Hill and starring Michael Sacks as Billy Pilgrim, Vonnegut modestly says:
"Oh, it's a masterpiece. It's better than the book."
"Other film versions-including Happy Birthday, Wanda June, Breakfast of
Champions , and most notably, Slapstick of Another Kind with Jerry Lewis
and Madeline Kahn-have been box-office flops that were critically
panned."
