In 1947, Elia Kazan directed the film version of Conrad Richter's novel, Sea of Glass. Two more Richter books would be made into motion pictures: One Desire (1955) and The Light of the Forest (1958). Four Richter novels became television programs, including The Awakening Land, a miniseries nominated for six Prime Time Emmies in 1978.
