Gerard’s nationality and profession had been changed from French psychologist to British medical doctor. Jefferson Hope was transformed from the Boynton family’s attorney, into an American traveler with business ties to Lady Boynton. The character of Nadine, Lennox’s wife, did not appear in this adaptation.
