Noël Coward Screenplays: In Which We Serve, Brief Encounter, The Astonished Heart
Autor Noël Coward Editat de Barry Dayen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 noi 2015
In Which We Serve earned Coward an Academy Honorary Award in 1943 as well as the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Film. The film remains a classic of wartime British cinema.
Brief Encounter, the most famous screenplay in this collection, is based on Coward's 1936 one-act play Still Life. It remains one of the greatest love stories of all time, coming second in a British Film Institute poll of the top 100 British films.
The Astonished Heart tells the story of a psychiatrist's growing obsession for a good-time girl and the resulting tragedy this leads to.
This collection features a foreword by Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator Emeritus, Film, at New York's MoMA, and an eight-page black and white plate section of production stills.

Recenzii
I believe this would make a valuable addition to your current series of Noël Coward plays . . . very much of interest to scholars whose research interests include Noël Coward, the Second World War, and queer studies.
Of great value for scholars and students in a number of disciplines and fields, as well as for fans of Noël Coward and cinema generally . . . Coward's wide-ranging career and the many intersections between film, theatre, and literary studies mean that the collection will be of interest to scholars from several disciplines.
In Noël Coward Screenplays, Barry Day continues his exhaustive editing of Coward's work with the screenplays for In Which We Serve [1942], Brief Encounter [1945], and The Astonished Heart [1950] ... Day's editing skills are as sharp as ever ... He provides introductions to each of the screenplays and gives useful information on Tonight at 8.30, the development of the narrative and characters, as well as insights into the production process.

Notă biografică
Noël Coward was born in 1899 in Teddington, Middlesex. He made his name as a playwright with The Vortex (1924), in which he also appeared. His numerous other successful plays included Fallen Angels (1925), Hay Fever (1925), Private Lives (1933), Design for Living (1933) and Blithe Spirit (1941). During the war he wrote screenplays such as Brief Encounter (1944) and In Which We Serve (1942). In the fifties he began a new career as a cabaret entertainer. He published volumes of verse and a novel (Pomp and Circumstance, 1960), two volumes of autobiography and four volumes of short stories: To Step Aside (1939), Star Quality (1951), Pretty Polly Barlow (1964) and Bon Voyage (1967). He was knighted in 1970 and died three years later in Jamaica.
