“The Ransom of Red Chief” book and movie had many similarities. In the same way as the book, the time period of the movie was set in the late 19th century. The town of Summit was also very similar. Nevertheless, in the movie, the town of Summit also didn’t like Andie Dorset and once they realized he was gone, they were overjoyed. He also was very aggravating and had more similar traits as the book. In the movie, the kidnappers took Andie to the same place they did in the book. Andie also pretended to be “Red Chief”, as he did in the book. Like in the book, the kidnappers and Mr. Dorset exchanged letters to resolve their deal. This is how the book and movie relate. Although the book and movie are very similar, they also have many differences.
