Lord of the Flies: Based on the 1954 novel by William Golding, wherein a group of British schoolboys, marooned on an island and forced to form their own version of a civil society, eventually break into separate camps and degenerate into savagery.… Director Peter Brooks largely dispensed with the script, encouraging the boys to improvise given scenes. Over 60 hours of footage was shot, which was edited down to 90 minutes. Because of the violence depicted, the film received an X certificate from the British Board of Film Censors. Nominated for the Palme d'Or. Shot on location in Puerto Rico and Jamaica. The Comedy Man: Based on the 1960 novel by Douglas Hayes.
