The book rendered Salten famous the movie, which altered and overshadowed its source material, rendered him virtually unknown. It was adapted from вЂњBambi: A Life in the Woods,вЂќ a 1922 novel by the Austro-Hungarian writer and critic Felix Salten.

Stephen King called вЂњBambiвЂќ the first horror movie he ever saw, and Pauline Kael, the longtime film critic for this magazine, claimed that she had never known children to be as frightened by supposedly scary grownup movies as they were by вЂњBambi.вЂќ

The film in question is, of course, the 1942 Walt Disney classic вЂњ Bambi.вЂќ Perhaps more than any other movie made for children, it is remembered chiefly for its moments of terror: not only the killing of the heroвЂ™s mother but the forest fire that threatens all the main characters with annihilation. We see only the motherвЂ™s sudden alarm her panicked attempt to get her child to safety their separation in the chaos of the moment and then the child, outside in the cold as snow once again begins to fall, alone and crying for his mother. In fact, we never see it at all, because the man with the gun remains offscreen. Beguiled by the changing weather, we do not see the danger coming. A mother and her child are out for a walk, on the first warm day after a bitter winter. It is one of the most famous murders in the history of cinema.
