BATouttaheck, A Thousand Acres is based on Jane Smiley's book which is based on Shakespeare's King Lear. Does that really qualify?

BATouttaheck , A Thousand Acres is based on Jane Smiley's book which is based on Shakespeare's King Lear. Does that really qualify? It's a classic once removed and we are on the 2nd batch of 13 so … well …. hmmmm lemmeee think …. yeah ! Plus that description came directly from the ultimate info source IMDb Catman withdraws his objection.
