To clarify, A Little Night Music is based on the Bergman film Smiles of a Summer Night not a movie by the same title.

I know that. But it's a film to musical adaptation nonetheless. And a damn good one, I might add.

I believe another Sondheim musical - "Passion" - also qualifies.

I've never seen Nick & Nora. Was it based on one particular Thin Man film or was it simply "based on the characters created by Dashiell Hammett".
