10 Classic Movies That Overshadowed The Books They Were Based On
Movies you may not have realized were based on books.
'Mrs. Doubtfire' (1993)
In one of Robin Williams' best-known roles, he plays a recently divorced father who disguises himself as an elderly cleaning lady in order to stay in his house and spend time with his kids. It's far-fetched but entertaining, and Williams committed himself to the role so strongly that it ended up becoming a minor classic.

It may be surprising for some to learn, then, that Mrs. Doubtfire was based on a British book called Madame Doubtfire. It has some differences from the better-known movie - and may be a little darker overall - but the premises are the same, making Mrs. Doubtfire a relatively faithful (and more famous) adaptation of the novel.
