Product Description

This study of Harold Pinter's screenplays compares the scripts with their sources and the resulting films, analyzes their stages of development, and shows how Pinter creates unique works of art by extracting the essence from his source and rendering it in cinematic terms. It introduces each film, traces the events that led to the script's writing, and examines critical reaction to the film.
