Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Best known for his poetry and short stories, Welsh poet Thomas wrote documentary film scrips from 1941 to 1945. Produced by Strand Films under contract with the British Ministry of Information, these were propaganda films aimed at promoting the war effort at home and presenting a cheerful picture of life after the war was won. Comprised of 23 filmscripts, collected from various sources or transcribed from the films themselves, this volume is unique. Extensive commentary accompanies each screenplay, and two commentaries on film by Thomas are included. Recommended for academic collections.?J. Sara Paulk, Satilla Regional Lib., Douglas, Ga.

"comprised of"? I can't believe the Library Journal Ain't go no better English.,
This review is from: Dylan Thomas: The Complete Screenplays (Kindle Edition)
"comprised of"? I can't believe the Library Journal Ain't go no better English. It's description is included of mistakes in plain english.
As for the scripts, they are some things Thomas did to try to earn a buck, something he always needed to do a better job of -- he was broke more often than he was drunk. They're collected here so the publisher can make a buck (presumably) and so that Thomas scholars had have "complete editions."
