Christ in Concrete

So about an hour into the movie, I was wondering if Geremio was going to die. That's probably insensitive, but I was surprised that the movie was so different from the book. It wasn't that different though; things were just compressed and moved around. Actually, the movie was pretty much backwards from the book. It kind of reminded me of I Remember Mama in that respect, just because the stories were compressed into the play and then into the movie.
