There has been only one adaptation of Camus's novel to the screen. Directed by Luchino Visconti, L'Etranger was produced in 1967 by Paramount pictures. The film failed to capture the Camus's style, but fortunately, the role of Arthur Meursault is executed brilliantly by Marcello Mastroianni and Anna Karina delivers a fine performance as Marie Cardona.
