[edit] Notes
- ^ There are discrepancies between the IMDb release and award dates for this film and those provided in scholarly publications.
- ^ Betrayal at the Internet Movie Database 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, 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).
- ^ 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 (236-39).
- ^ Academy Awards Database, accessed September 14, 2007 (searchable database). The IMDb appears to be a year off in listing its Academy Award and BAFTA nominations as 1984 instead of 1983.
