Swept from the Sea: The Shooting Script provides an interesting mix of materials that will enhance your viewing and discussion of this Phoenix/TriStar movie release. The paperback contains the complete 112-page shooting script, the Joseph Conrad short story the film is based on, and 26 movie and production stills. Screenplay writer Tim Willocks talks about the challenges of adapting the short story and his understanding of the three main characters — Amy, Yanko, and Dr. Kennedy. While the two lovers are obviously soul mates, the physician and his journey toward self-discovery and enlightenment creates the drama's poignancy. In an interview with fellow filmmaker Fred Schepisi, director Beeban Kidron speaks about her take on the themes of Swept from the Sea. Check out her comments on gothic romance, strangers, and high tragedy.
