when was one flew over the cuckoo's nest made
A year later, Kesey allowed Dale Wasserman to make a play adaptation of âOne Flew over the Cuckooâs Nestâ, but the play was a flop, only making a few months run. The film adaptation, directed by Milos Foreman in 1975, does a good job of expressing the novelâs theme which questions what sanity is. All in all One flew Over the Cuckooâs Nest was a good film adaptation of the novel. The novel is set during the late 1950âs in an insane asylum in Oregon.
