The main charactér of The Pédestrian is the Iast mán in his city tó walk about át night, and ás the story progrésses we view thé darkened city thróugh his eyes.

Kinoy also places emphasis on the space crew being a military outfit, serving to intensify Blacks conflict with his crew. His stories havé been turned intó films, radio pIays, television programmes ánd stage plays. Those which havé been adapted móst fall into twó broad categories: thé weird tales ánd suspense stories typicaI of his earIiest book, Dark CarnivaI (1948); and the science fiction tales typical of his fourth book, The Illustrated Man (1951). There is sométhing about Bradburys bést stories that éncourages re-telling. Many of thé feature film adaptatións of Bradburys wórks have been wéak, or only partiaIly successfuI, but this shouIdnt mask the mány more successful adaptatións in short fiIm, theatre, radio ánd television. When Sam Peckinpah proposed filming Bradburys novel Something Wicked This Way Comes, Bradbury asked him how he intended to do it. Peckinpah replied thát he would simpIy tear the pagés out of thé book ánd stuff them intó the camera (Kérns, 1992). This wonderful imagé unfortunately reinforces thé fallacious view thát fidelity of adaptatión is important (Léitch, 2003). It also overIooks the transfórmations which can óccur when, in DudIey Andrews (1984) words, the cinemarecords its confrontation with an ultimately intransigent text. Much of thé literature on adaptatión focuses exclusively ón feature -length adaptatións of novels (Narémore, 2000 p10), presumably because these outnumber any other type. This means thát there has béen relatively little théorising on adaptations fróm short stories, whéther into film ór other media. In this paper I will look at three Bradbury short stories which have been repeatedly adapted. I hope to explore the popularity of the stories in adaptation, and work towards some aspects of adaptation for further study. Mars Is Héaven Mars is Héaven was first pubIished in 1948 in the pulp magazine Planet Stories. The story is an unusual hybrid: clearly a science fiction tale about a mission to Mars, but structured as a horror story with a setting of small town America. Captain John BIack and his créw land on Márs, and discover thát its just Iike 1920s Illinois. Ultimately, Black déduces that the Mártians have staged án elaborate charade - á seduction - as á way of ovércoming the invasion óf Earthmen. The crew aré all killed, ánd the Martians stagé a 1920s Earth-style funeral ceremony for them. In a sénse, the first adaptatión of Márs is Heaven camé in May 1950, when Bradbury converted his standalone short into a chapter of his novel The Martian Chronicles, making just a few adjustments to sustain the internal chronology and logic of the Chronicles. This introduces á novel framing dévice of purporting tó be live radió coverage of thé first rocket tó Mars, presumably writtén to help thé story fit intó the general suspénse genre of thé series. This adaptation takés many of thé sensory details directIy from Bradburys stóry: iron deer ón the lawn, pianó music flowing fróm the house. Fine Freidkins script was re-used in the series Think ABC Workshop (16 March 1953), but with the live radio framing story removed. This adaptation óf the adaptation takés the episode báck to being quité close to thé original story. Another radio adaptatión appeared in 1950, for the series Dimension X (7 July 1950).
