Screenwriter John Irving had the formidable task of condensing his own 550-page novel into a 136-page script for the 1999 film The Cider House Rules. He achieved this brilliantly by focusing the screenplay on the central conflict - for his efforts, his script won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay.
