Papermill is a professional theater, but certainly not B'way. It was before the movie.
I generally hate plays, but loved this one. It was fantastic and I was sort of skeptical when I later heard that a movie was coming out. The play was so good on its own, and I was worried about Cruise, Moore and Nicholson making it a Cruise, Moore, Nicholson film. Which they did. But I ended up loving the movie as well.
I don't remember a lot of differences because it was so long ago. I'd be curious how it would hold up now that Nicholson has defined who Jessup is, and Cruise has defined who Lionel Caffey is.
