10 more West Virginian books that were turned into movies — Part 2
CLARKSBURG, (WBOY) — Even after our first list of West Virginia authors who had their books turned into movies, there are still more books written by West Virginian authors that weren't included the first time around. So, for anyone looking for a movie to watch or a book to read, here are 10 more adaptations that have roots in West Virginia. Special thanks to the many 12 News readers who contributed to this list — if you know of a book written by a West Virginian that has been adapted to film, you can email the author of this article at sgorski2@ Adapted from the book of the same name, 'The Bridge at Remagen' focuses on a pivotal battle during the tail end of World War II in the spring of 1945, where Allied forces captured one of the last remaining bridges spanning the Rhine River, allowing them to cross into the heart of German territory. Although the book's author, Ken Hechler, was born in New York, he attended Marshall University and lived in Huntington for many years, eventually becoming a West Virginia Congressman in 1959. According to an interview with the National Archives, Hechler was stationed with the First Army in Command of the III Corps at the time of the battle at Remagen, about 10 miles away. As a combat historian, Hechler interviewed many troops involved and published his own book detailing the battle in 1957, which was adapted to film in 1969. Filming for the movie began in 1968 in Czechoslovakia, a country behind the 'Iron Curtain.' According to the American Film Institute (AFI), much of the military equipment seen in the film was loaned by the Austrian and Czech governments, including tanks, explosives, weapons and even Nazi uniforms. Three city squares in the town of Most had already been planned for demolition prior to filming, and their destruction was used in action scenes during production. Ironically, work on the movie was interrupted by the repercussions of the very war it was looking to portray. On Aug. 20, 1968, Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia, causing the film's cast and crew to hastily evacuate to other European countries, leaving behind hundreds of thousands, if not over a million dollars worth of film equipment in Soviet controlled territory. Despite this, some of the film's equipment was eventually recovered, and the world premiere for 'The Bridge at Remagen' was held on June 25, 1968 at the Keith-Albee Theatre in Huntington, West Virginia. According to the AFI, the premiere was attended by Hechler as well as Brig. Gen. (Ret.) William M. Hoge, who commanded the armored division that captured the Remagen Bridge during World War II. While 'Feast of the Seven Fishes' is much better known as a movie, the story originated as a comic strip in November 2005 and was written by Fairmont native Robert Tinnell and illustrated by Alex Saviuk. Both the movie and comic are a distillation of Italian Christmas traditions, particularly in areas like north central West Virginia. The movie was filmed in Fairmont and can be watched on Peacock and Amazon Prime. Feast of the Seven Fishes: How the Marion County holiday movie came to be Pearl S. Buck, who was born in Hillsboro, West Virginia, is a prolific author and the first American woman to win both a Pulitzer and a Nobel prize. Though born in West Virginia, Buck lived in China during her childhood, which she drew on heavily for her later writing. 'The Good Earth' novel was first published in 1931 and tells the story of a Chinese farmer and his wife as their life is uprooted by a flood. The book was critically acclaimed upon release and became one of Buck's best-known works. It was only the first of many books written by the author that would later be adapted to the big screen. Jeannette Walls' memoir 'The Glass Castle' was a #1 New York Times bestseller and tells the true story of Walls' tumultuous and nomadic upbringing, with a large part of the book taking place in West Virginia. The film adaptation of the book was released in 2017, starring Brie Larson as Jeannette Walls, Woody Harrelson as Walls' father Rex, and Naomi Watts as Walls' mother Rose Mary. The movie turned into a moderate box office success with a worldwide gross of around $22M and an estimated budget of $9M according to IMDB. Another best-selling Pearl S. Buck novel that was adapted into a movie, 'Dragon Seed' is also set in China and tells the story of a Chinese village invaded by Japanese soldiers during World War II. The lead role of 'Jade Tan' is played by Katherine Hepburn, who leads the resistance against the Japanese occupation. 'China Sky' is another movie adaptation of a Buck book, and as the title indicates, it too is set in China during World War II. However, according to descriptions of the movie and viewer reviews, 'China Sky' is less about the wider conflict and instead uses it as a backdrop for a love triangle between Dr. Gray Thompson (played by Randolph Scott), Dr. Sara Durand (Ruth Warrick) and Louise Thompson (Ellen Drew). At just one hour and 18 minutes long, 'China Sky' is also the shortest Pearl S. Buck movie by a large margin. 'Blaze' follows the story of Blaze Starr, a burlesque dancer born in Wilsondale, West Virginia, under the name Fannie Belle Fleming, and her controversial love affair with Louisiana governor Earl Long. The movie was adapted from a biography written by Huey Perry, a Mingo County native, and stars Paul Newman as Earl Long and Lolita Davidovich as Blaze Starr. Blaze Star also cameoed in the film and is credited for playing the role 'Lily' on IMDB. Hardcover copies of 'Blaze Starr: My Life as Told to Huey Perry' can still be purchased online today, and Perry even gave a talk on his published works at the West Virginia Archives in 2016. Another Buck book, 'The Big Wave,' focuses on a tidal wave and the lasting impact it has on a coastal Japanese village and the people who live there. Set during the Chinese Civil War in 1949, 'Satan Never Sleeps,' tells the story of two Catholic priests as they are targeted by the local communist party, and stars William Holden, Clifton Webb, and France Nuyen, who plays Siu Lan, a love interest for Holden's character. Starring William Dafoe, 'Pavilion of Women' is another drama romance set in China, adapted from Buck's book of the same name. The movie takes place shortly before the beginning of World War II as a Chinese family comes to grips with changes in tradition and the rise of communism in China. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Woman Finds Dog 'Dumped' by Road, Unprepared for What His Microchip Reveals
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After finding a German short-haired pointer abandoned on the side of the road and left to die alone, a woman from the United Kingdom got in contact with his former owner, but she wasn't ready to hear what he had to say. In a viral TikTok video shared in June under the username @sophiahutson, the poster shares footage of the 1-year-old pup, Cooper, formerly known as Copper, on the day she found him back in November. "POV [point of view]: you've been dumped in a lay-by on a national speed limit road," she writes in the clip, as the puppy immediately warms up to her, playing with her like he knows she is there to save him. Trying to return the pup to his owner, the poster tracked his microchip, which was still in his breeder's name, and via the breeder, she managed to get in contact with them. "Tracking down the owner only to be told 'he left him there for a reason,'" she continues in the clip. @sophiahutson Thank you for sending me cooper dad😇 and to the man that dumped him… Cooper wants to let you know he's learning what love really is🩷 ♬ original sound - WBsongs That is when she ultimately decided to take him home to her four dogs, one of which, Ollie, is dog reactive. "I didn't have high hopes … But they became friends fairly quickly," the poster continues, adding that the pup had already been dumped three or four times before. "We fell in love and we decided to keep him. From Copper to Cooper … New beginnings. The rest is history. You're at home with us Cooper … Forever and always." In the comments section, the poster made it clear that, while she thinks the pup's previous owner is to blame for abandoning him, she also thinks the breeder should have done a better job vetting the home before selling him. "Unfortunately there is nothing stopping the man getting another dog, tried to report and the police didn't care," she commented. Many users in the comments said that Cooper and his new mom were meant to find each other, and the poster herself seems to think the same. "Thank you for sending me cooper dad, and to the man that dumped him … Cooper wants to let you know he's learning what love really is," she said in the caption. In the comments section, she wrote that not only did she find him in the same place she had a car accident two years prior, but she later discovered another detail that confirmed her heartwarming theory. "We found each other when we both needed each other, my dad sadly passed … I really believe cooper was a gift from my dad, coopers birthday is the same date my dad passed," she said. "I'll never understand how people can be so cruel, Cooper just wants to love everyone, it makes me so sad about what he could've been through … He will be well loved and looked after for the rest of his life," she added.

One user, Blairthomsonn, commented: "The fact he is still so happy and trusting after everyone is so amazing we really don't deserve dogs, thank you for saving him. "People are just so so evil! I have had a Romanian rescue dog for 3 years and although he's happy he is so scarred from everything that happened to him before he got here. Breaks my heart every day." Yecatsearpauli added: "He's such a beautiful boy- pure bred too- so many people should just not ever get to be responsible for these loyal animals- humans are sick."
