Big dissapointment.... Needs to be remade!

I remember reading the book as a girl back in the 60's. I loved it and I read it a few times over the years.
I had no knowlege of the film until I saw it late one night in the late 80's.
What a white wash after the book!
I do not often like remakes but in this case I wish someone would consider it.
