No but I’m excited to I have it in my possession, so in the next few days I will be. I’m really intrigued because I’m familiar with the content (I’ve read the script) and with Friedkin and those producers it can be seen as an almost intellectual Horror film (all those people at that time had just worked in Horror). I’ll make sure to let you know my thoughts.

If you’ve never seen ‘Betrayal’ I can make you a copy. I bought a decent bootleg as it’s dvd status is non-existent. Ben Kingsley is such a powder keg a year after GANDHI.

Thanks, Jamie! Have you gotten to William Friedkin’s adaptation of THE BIRTHDAY PARTY yet? That might be my favorite Pinter-on-film. Patrick Magee nails the ferocity of Pinter’s copious pauses.

I said it the for the first viewing log, and I’ll say it again, these are great little capsules and a nice look into your viewing habits/schedule.

I’m most intrigued by the Noonan, I haven’t seen it (or really any of his work in this vein) but overly talk theatrical films are something I like more and more with each passing year (and I know you’re a fan too). I’m actually currently in a marathon of Pinter’s film adaptations. Last night was ‘The Homecoming’, and saturday night ‘Betrayal’ (which I thought ‘Masterpiece!’), it’s been a blast thus far. The three Losey films are what started it.

Oh, and bonus points for topic the post with a sly ’13 floor elevators’ crop. How could anyone post under here and miss it?

Welcome! It might be difficult to get (I think it’s OOP) but I’d be happy to share my copy…
