Abstract

Of the perhaps dozen and a half films derived from the work of Joseph Conrad,1 the most famous are certainly Alfred Hitchcock's Sabotage (1936), out of The Secret Agent, and Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now (1979), in which the action of Heart of Darkness is-with considerable modification-transferred to Vietnam. Few Americans, on the other hand, have seen Razumov (France, 1937), based on Under Western Eyes and directed by Marc Allegret, or Carol Reed's Outcast of the Islands (England, 1951); in fact, Razumov is not even available in this country in a subtitled version.
