Absolutely not! In my mind this is one of the most glaring departures from the book. In Book 4, Chapter 9, 'Shelob's Lair' (part 2 of 'The Two Towers' book) it is Gollum who attacks Sam from behind in the darkness of Shelob's cave that separates the two hobbits. One of the main themes of the book is undying friendship; I would say the movie does an excellent job of destroying that theme if only for a moment.
