Vice versa
Encyclopedia : V : VI : VIC : Vice versa
Vice Versa: A Lesson to Fathers is a novel by F. Anstey, first published in 1882.
The title originates from the Latin phrase, "vice versa", meaning "the other way around".
The plot concerns Paul Bultitude and his son Dick, who, thanks to a magic talisman, find their minds have swapped bodies. Mr. Bultitude has to begin the new term at his son's boarding school, while Dick finds himself similarly out of his depth attempting to run his father's business. In the end, they are both restored to their own bodies.
The story has been adapted for television at least three times, and for film at least five times; including a 1948 version written and directed by Peter Ustinov, and a 1988 version starring Judge Reinhold and Fred Savage as the father and son.
The Freaky Friday book and films may be considered a modern re-telling of the same story.
