occasionally, adaptations of source material may employ "in medias res" while the original version did not. for example, the film adaptation of the stage musical "camelot" employed "in medias res" while the original broadway version did not (although revivals of the musical have). stanley kubrick's 1962 film adaptation of "lolita" begins "in medias res" although the novel does not. herman wouk's stage adaptation of his own novel "the caine mutiny" begins "in medias res" as it opens with the court-martial that occupies the final section of the novel, telling the earlier part of the story through flashbacks in court-room testimony.
