Book Description Pictorial Wraps. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. An uncommon look at the film version of Picnic at Hanging Rock, which includes the script. From the novel by Joan Lindsay. With b&w photographs by David Kynoch. Includes acknowledgments, credits, locations, a dialogue between Peter Weir (director) & Patricia Lovell (executive producer) & Cliff Green (screenwriter), a note about the screenplay, the screenplay, technical terms, plus details on the film makers. From rear cover: "Lady Joan Lindsay's powerful short novel has been adroitly adapted by screen playwright Cliff Green into a script which the famous British playwright, Harold Pinter, summed up as very impressive. Picnic at Hanging Rock: A Film captures the lines, sounds, shots and scenes of this menacing story of the Victorian era. A comparison of the script and the finished film will demonstrate something of the complexity and creativity of the final editing and sound mixing stages. Whilst this will be of great interest to the student, the mysterious tale itself will excite all who read it. Moreover David Kynoch's photographs remain a stunning reminder of the magnificent stylised imagery". Printed in Australia.
