What story has been most often made into a movie?

" Cinderella " has the distinction, according to The Guinness Book of Film Facts and Feats (1985), of being the story that has been filmed the greatest number of times. This novelty variant spins the title pun out as an amusing sex change variant. This records holds untill now accordint To Guinness.

Of Course this info comes from an old research of Guinness Book Of records As 35 years have already passed since then, this record might have changed till now..

According to this site "Cinderella" is the most filmed story.

I would imagine all of the films made roughly follow the original story.

If you include films made that contain the central character from a story "Dracula" would have to be the winner of this title.

Cinderella is what I was looking for.

Over the decades, hundreds of films have been made that are either direct adaptations from Cinderella or have plots loosely based on the story. Almost every year at least one, but often several such films are produced and released, resulting in Cinderella becoming a work of literature with one of the largest numbers of film adaptations ascribed to it.

If you are going to accept a book of stories to meet the requirement (and I don't understand why it wasn't considered before), the Bible has had most of its stories put on screen with many like the stories of Jesus in all his various situations from birth to death, Moses, the Ten Commandments, Noah, Adam and Eve, Abraham, Samson and Delilah, Ruth, David, Solomon, John the Baptist and the tales about the New Testament era, the early days of Christianity which rely on Gospel scripture: The Robe, Ben-Hur, Nero, and on and on... Do Plays count? Romeo and Juliet certainly must rival Cinderella in productions. . ., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinderella
