( Universal ) The one and only English-language film made by French director Francois Truffaut was too easily dismissed by critics when released. Though the dialogue Truffaut didnt quite have a grasp of English when he worked on the script is a bit stilted, its a visually effective adaptation of the Ray Bradbury futuristic tale about a society where books are banned. In a last-minute decision, Christie was given two roles to play: the wife of the films protagonist (Oskar Werner), who has received awards for burning books, and a young schoolteacher who is against the book burner. Christie received a BAFTA nomination. |
