    I admit to my shame I've never read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (I know, I know) but I have read Door into Summer and I think it could be easily adapted. I mean, they adapted All You Zombies and that was truly a challenge visually (for reasons I won't spoil here). In comparison, Door is a more straightforward time-loop + betrayal story of the kind that can be adapted to the big screen...

    Edit: unless you're referring to an icky age-related situation, but that could be fixed in the movie adaptation to make it less icky.

    Edit 2: wow, and it was made into a movie... by the Japanese: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Door_into_Summer_(film)

    It was a great movie. Slow for about the first half doing a lot of character development, then moving quick into all kinds of territory, and then mindbending finish. I didn't know it was adapted from Heinlein. Darnit. Scratch it off my list of "original" movies to put it on "risky but good."

    Also, worth mentioning that the actor playing "John" had one of best presentations I've ever seen. Smart that they picked at "tomboy" for it as that fit most of the movie really well. Also, showed John's more straightforward acting took more talent than one would figure at first.

    EDIT: "All You Zombies." Extra obvious now. Wish I read it sooner. :)
