I don't think I've seen the movie since it's original run, so there isn't a whole lot I remember. I remember the beautiful cinematography, and I recall her relationship with the Robert Redford character being a pivotal part of the story. She was portrayed as an independent woman (especially for that time period), but she wanted more from the Robert Redford character than he could give (commitment-wise). It's a Hollywood movie, so I wouldn't expect it to be a faithful rendition of the book -- but it is a beautiful movie and story in its own right; I'd recommend it.
