Collected Screenplays 1 - Collected Screenplays

There is no writer who excels at the art of adaptation for the screen so much as Harold Pinter. His consummate skill and unerring ear for dialogue, coupled with his sensitivity and understanding of the work of other authors, make the three volumes of his screenplays (of which this is the first) a collective masterclass in screenwriting. Included in this collection are the screenplays for The Servant , The Pumpkin Eater , The Quiller Memorandum , Accident , The Last Tycoon and Langrishe, Go Down .
