Script review - “Misery” by William Goldman


Brilliant work from Goldman – true, King’s novel gave him his best source material in a long while, but the fellow novelist clearly understood the head of Paul Sheldon. Also, since Annie Wilkes is a lunatic, Goldman’s normally trouble of writing good female roles doesn’t really matter. Beautifully structured, it spanks along without any dull spots – the character of Buster the investigating cop is very well done.
