New in the Newmarket Shooting Script®series, the acclaimed screenplay of the newest film by Academy Award®-nominated director Robert Altman. Set in a magnificent country estate in 1932 Britain, Gosford Park is part comedy of manners and part mystery.

The book includes the complete screenplay by Julian Fellowes, based upon an idea by Robert Altman and Bob Balaban, an introduction by director Altman, 20 b/w film stills, and the film's complete credits.
