Editing François Truffaut (section)

===''Fahrenheit 451''===
Truffaut's first non-French film was a 1966 [[Fahrenheit 451 (1966 film)|adaptation]] of [[Ray Bradbury]]'s classic science fiction novel ''[[Fahrenheit 451]]'', showcasing Truffaut's love of books. His only English-speaking film, made on location in England, was a great challenge for Truffaut, because he barely spoke English himself. Shot by cinematographer [[Nicolas Roeg]], it was Truffaut's first film in colour. The larger-scale production was difficult for Truffaut, who had worked only with small crews and budgets. The shoot was also strained by a conflict with Oskar Werner, who was unhappy with his character and stormed off set, leaving Truffaut to shoot scenes using a body double shot from behind. The film was a commercial failure, and Truffaut never worked outside France again. The film's cult standing has steadily grown, although some critics remain dubious of it as an adaptation.<ref>John Brosnan and Peter Nicholls, [http://www.sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/fahrenheit_451 Fahrenheit 451] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191206070147/http://www.sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/fahrenheit_451 |date=6 December 2019 }}, Encyclopedia of Science Fiction.
