Wilkie Collins' The Woman In White is one of the earliest thriller novels of the Victorian era, written in 1859 and considered to be a classic of the genre. It's been adapted for the big screen four times, starting in 1912, with the last version in 1948. From there it became a television miniseries staple, with versions dating back to the 1960s. This newest one is the fourth "Made For TV" adaptation, making it the eighth adaptation overall. If one includes Andrew Lloyd Webber's flop musical about it from 2004, it's number 9.
