*"Betrayal" (1982, 1983)There are discrepancies between the IMDb release and award dates for this film and those provided in scholarly publications. imdb title|title=Betrayal|id=0085234 lists the film's release in New York as "19 February 1983" and its London release date as "October 1983." According to Steven H. Gale, however, in "Sharp Cut: Harold Pinter's Screenplays and the Artistic Process" (Lexington: UP of Kentucky, 2003), it was "Released" in both London and New York "in 1982" (256, 415). It was distributed by Twentieth-Century Fox International Classics and first screened in movie theaters in New York in "February 1983," according to Susan Hollis Merritt, "Pinter in Play: Critical Strategies and the Plays of Harold Pinter" (1990; Durham and London: Duke UP, 1995) 236, 300; the first film reviews of such New York commercial screenings cited by Merritt date from 20 February 1983 on (236-39). The film was nominated for 1983 Academy Awards for "Best Picture" and Pinter for "Writing" in the category "Best Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium" (Gale 256, 415); cf. [http://awardsdatabase.oscars.org/ampas_awards/DisplayMain.jsp?curTime=1183075470019 Academy Awards Database] , accessed June 28, 2007.
