Event Opportunity: The Passionate Stranger (aka A Novel Affair) : In-Person Screening + Intro from Carol Morley

WFTV members are invited to a special screening of The Passionate Stranger (aka A Novel Affair) directed by Muriel Box. There will be an introduction before the screening from filmmaker Carol Morley. 

Muriel Box’s innovative film uses black and white and colour to expose the reality behind romantic fiction.

Synopsis

When an Italian chauffeur is taken on by a married couple, the novelist wife writes him into her new book. He finds the manuscript and, believing she’s in love with him, tries to woo her. An original idea by Box, this comedy film is her most adventurous cinematically, employing Technicolor fantasy sequences to contrast with black and white reality – an innovation much praised by the critics.

The film was released in the UK in 1956.
