In "Masculine Feminine" the two Maupassant stories are barely recognisable. "The Signal" in particular, since it is reduced to the Bergman parody that the characters see in a theatre. ANother for the list: Corman's "Masque of the Red Death" incorporates Poe's "Hop-Frog" as well as the title story. ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.tcf.ua.edu/ScreenSite
