Does anyone else know more about this Robert Bolt fellow? I have
been intrigued by his screenplays and in particular his written
dialogues in Lawrence of Arabia. The choice of words is most
peculiar.
I know that he also did A Man For All Seasons, but it has
been years since I saw that so I don't know if the dialogue
is as unusual there.
The dialogue is very clipped and terse. One gets the feeling
that there is a lot more hidden behind it than just these simple
words. The speech is almost Biblical in style.
I don't know if Lean (director) and Bolt collaborated on anything
else.
