Synopsis

"Set in a magnificent country estate in 1932 Britain, Gosford Park is part comedy of manners and part mystery. The film is a moving portrait of events that bridge generations, class, sex, tragic personal histories - and culminate in a murder. Ultimately revealing the intricate relations of the above- and below-stairs worlds with great clarity, Gosford Park illuminates a society and way of life quickly coming to an end." In the acclaimed Newmarket Shooting Script Series format, the book contains a facsimile of the script with an introduction by director Robert Altman, an afterword by screenwriter Julian Fellowes, stills from the film, and full cast and crew credits.

Review:

"The screenplay is so amazingly concise that if you watch the film more than once...you'll find barely a word has been wasted. Almost every sentence contains crucial information, but in a deceptively offhand style that's so light it feels like casual banter."
