Trying to think of books where the film adaptation is considered vastly superior in quality. An odd one would probably be The Bridges of Madison County which consistently is picked as one of Clint's best directed films but the novel is usually considered mediocre at best

Steven Spielberg recently said this about blocking. Very few directors can get away with blocking a scene with Second Team. He certainly can. But actors do NOT (generally) like it. It DOES explain why his blocking and staging feel so singular and distinctive. The notion that he has to see the FIRST PASS of blocking exactly as he imagined is fascinating. He adjusts later on, if need be, obviously, but mannnnn, this explains a lot. Here's the quote: "... I'll do a whole blocking with second team first. The actors are still in hair and makeup. And I'm blocking the entire shot with second team. So the actors come out, having worked with me before, or having known my process, they'll know to stand where I've asked them to move, and when to move and why the camera's moving with them. And then later, as we're lighting it, I'll sit down and say: 'okay, here's why I want you to do something that you weren't preparing for when you were memorizing your lines the night before. But this is why I need it to be this way.' And every once in a while, more than every once in a while, and say: 'Here's why I think I need to sit here, for at least these five lines without getting up.' And they'll convince me that they were right and they'll be able to do it their way. But I need to be able to... do the first pass of the blocking. Because blocking is so important on movies and television shows."
