	Film Adaptations of Jane Austen's Novels
		When towards the end of her essay Roberts turns to discuss the "sensationalism" of the film's approach and remarks that it camps up and sexualizes the novel grotesquely (26), she concludes (as if she is puzzled) that the film is "an interesting failure" because it doesn't ethically examine but just exploits the viewer's sexual longing.
		The problem here is that careful scrutiny of sequences in the film reveals the camera has been even-handed, and the viewer gazes at Jennifer Ehle alone or watching others as often as she or he gazes at Colin Firth alone or watching others.
		The actors in the earlier movie are filmed as if the landscape were a stage in a play, and the camera acts simply as a still eye which places the viewer in the position of someone in a theatre audience.

	Hamlet (1948 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hamlet is a 1948 film adaptation of the William Shakespeare play Hamlet.
		In the past, the 1948 film was often considered to be the definitive cinematic rendition of "Hamlet".
		In 1996, Kenneth Branagh's film version of the complete "Hamlet" brought out the faults of the Olivier "Hamlet" even more sharply, by including everything that Olivier had omitted, and by having what many say is a better supporting cast than the 1948 film.

	Gary Westfahl's Bio-Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Film: Carl Sagan
		Although his official involvement with science fiction film was tangential, Carl Sagan remains a crucially important figure because he, more than anyone else, was able to legitimize the concept of intelligent alien life that had long dominated science fiction literature and film.
		An uneven novel with some soaring moments, it was ill-served by Robert ZEMECKIS’s plodding film adaptation, although at least Francis Ford Coppola’s belated, and crass, attempt to claim part of the credits and the profits was indignantly tossed out of court.
		Although he continued writing books and articles, Sagan embarked upon no major projects in the final decade of his life; perhaps it was the wasting effects of the leukemia that eventually killed him, or perhaps the marijuana that he had smoked throughout his career had finally dampened his spirit of initiative.
