Film Screenplay (Love and Death on Long Island) - Softcover

Containing many scenes that were subsequently cut from the final edit, this is the screenplay adaptation of Gilbert Adair's novel. The film tells the unlikely tale of the obsession harbored by reclusive London novelist Giles De'ath for hunky but not very talented American teen pin-up Ronnie Bostock, after seeing him in an appalling movie. Unquestionably hetro until his wife died, and barely cognisant of the ways of the modern technological world, let alone Long Island, De'ath is simultaneoulsy embarrassed, confused, tormented, and rejuvenated by his infatuation.
