I have divided the differences into three categories: Crossed out, Altered and Added. In the analysis section these have been presented in each section of the film.</p><p>Main results: Catch me if you can is definetly a film made with the design of the Anglosaxon model, mostly because of its timestructure and that it portrays an action and not just a condition which is normal in the epic-lyric model. Big parts of the story have been crossed out, altered and added to make the film more acceptabel to the audience. Most of the changeshad been done to make the story shorter to fit the timeframe of a film. Events had been joinedtogether to save time but not miss anything. A character, Hanratty, has been reinforced to create a cat-and-mouse story and add excitement to the film. Other changes have been made to make the main character seem more likeable to the audience.</p><p>Keywords: book, film, dramaturgy, Catch me if you can, anglo-saxon, epic-lyric</p>
