A Henry James Filmography (2021)

Abstract

YouTube com (https://www YouTube com) is particularly useful to those looking for online viewing fare, offering a number of James-based full-length films and TV episodes, and is a repository for unique projects, like a taped performance of the Jeffrey Hatcher play based on TS and a film short of "The Liar " [ ]it is not sufficient that reading a plot analysis of the film, let alone viewing the production, might lead anyone familiar with "The Turn of the Screw" to see a connection 2 After all, there have been so many screen adaptations of this novella and with so many variations (changes in setting, time period, and any number of added twists or changes of perspective) that one could be pardoned for, ironically perhaps, seeing something that isn't there [ ]I was pleased to be able to add five new James titles, each with one adaptation: "Crawford's Consistency" (Lafortuna de Peter Crawford, Spain, 1974), "Diary of a Man of Fifty" (Diario di un uomo di 50 anni, Italy, 1980), "In the Cage" (Le destin de Priscilla Davies, France, 1979), "The Private Life" (La vie privee, France, 2006), and "Sir Edmund Orme" (La presenza perfetta, Italy, 1981) Besides the sites mentioned above I would also include, of course, The Internet Movie Database (https://www imdb com), tv com (www tv com), and Wikipedia org (https://www wikipedia org) There is also IMDbpro com (https://pro imdb com) for digging deeper into the status of a given project or obtaining contact information for a person or business Besides providing new titles, these sites are invaluable as a means of cross-referencing and corroborating information
