EDITOR's NOTE. Prof. Sweeney's probably has director Tony Richardson's
"Laughter in the Dark" in mind. It is easily available.

I know that there was a Laughter in the Dark
film, although I've never seen it. I remember that the female lead had a
name oddly like a poshlustish starlet's name in the novel.

I have some "film" questions for those up-to-date in this area of Nabokov
studies...(please!):
I am familiar with Fassbinder's _Despair_, and the two _Lolita_ films
(Kubrick, Lyne)... are there any other films of VN novels available
(isn't there a Russian rendition of _Mashen'ka_?)?
Was _Laughter in the Dark_ ever started/completed (director Uli Edel,
script by Allison Burnett)?
Are there any interviews of Nabokov IN ENGLISH *readily* available on
videotape?
Please respond to me directly (dlwalker@u.washington.edu).
I thank you in advance for any information,
Lynne Walker
