As stated in other comments posted on this website concerning this film, it takes both the reading of the book and seeing the movie to grasp the characters and story.
I believe much was left out because of runtime, but even more because the roughness of the book wasn't allowed in movies in 1955.
It has been remade in a couple of mini-series over the decades, and they have done a better job on the story.
However, none contained the performances that were in this movie.
