Godfather Part II was partially based on the Godfather novel that the first movie was based on--the parts with Robert DeNiro are straight out of the book. While most of the screenplay was original, it ended up being classified as an adapted screenplay for academy purposes.

"laurence oliver" is really Laurence Olivier. Second of all, Hamlet was based off a book. (also starring Laurence Olivier)

You Can't Take It With You was also based off a book. Plays do count as books, don't they? If not, maybe you should make a note on the quiz.
