Even greater expectations
Article Abstract:
The first golden era of literary adaptation was in the 1940s, when Hollywood produced a number of extremely influential films, including Henry Blanke's 'The Woman in White,' released in 1946. The paperback revolution of the 1930s formed the basis for this era of literary adaptation, and the exodus of talent from Europe and the UK as a result of the European war also played a part. The 1990s have also proved to be a golden era of literary adaptation, this time for television. Modern adapters are more faithful than their counterparts of the 1940s to the original text, but still make changes sometimes.

My year with Stanley
Article Abstract:
A writer tells of her experiences of writing a film script for Stanley Kubrick. His visions for the film are presented, and her efforts to convert these visions into reality are described. The reasons why the partnership failed to produce a viable film script are discussed. These include the fact that Kubrick was, in her opinion and that of many others, impossible to work for because he was so totally dedicated to his work and often arrogant.
