- Title:
- Screen adaptation (1991): correspondence and selected press response - Shuttlecock (1981)
- Scope & Content:
-
File contains correspondence and an article in The Times regarding the making of the French-British thriller film Shuttlecock, based on Swift's novel of the same name, directed by Andrew Piddington and starring Alan Bates, Lambert Wilson and Kenneth Haigh.
Specific contents are as follows:
- 8 pages of correspondence (some photocopied) between film producer Graham Leader and Swift's agent Rod Hall of A P Watt agents regarding the transferral of screen rights.
- 1 letter dated 9 November 1990 from Rod Hall to Swift confirming filming progress and casting arrangements, with additional notes by Swift in pencil.
- 1 letter dated 27 March 1990 to Swift. The letter concerns the sender's raising of funds to finance the film, and the issue of using the title of the book for the film, as it conflicted with that of another film by NewLine Cinema. The sender expresses their support for Swift's original title. The letter is signed and typed on paper headed with the logo and company name 'Framework', but the exact identification of the sender is unclear.
- a photocopy of an article in The Times by Geraldine Bedell discussing the casting of French actor Lambert Wilson as Prentice.
File retains original file cover sheet in Swift's hand.
