In the outsiders book Ponyboy gets sick in the end but not in the movie, also it says they're supposed to attend a trial because Johnny was accused of man slaughter (he killed Bob when Bob was drowning Ponyboy), but in the movie they don't have anything about that and we don't know what is happening because of it.

The film is an adaptation of the novel, which means things get changed around a bit. However, I don't think the differences are great enough to warrant a section on them. -Maverick 06:00, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

There is a section on the differences, at The Outsiders (novel)#Differences between the film and the novel. TheMadBaron 21:49, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I clearly remember being shown a black-and-white film adaptation of the novel at school around 1980. IMDb has no listing for this film. I saw the 1983 theater release, and also remembering thinking I liked the black and white version better, because it seemed older. Anyone else remember this? O0drogue0o 10:50, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
