The Lord Of The Flies is a 1963 film adaptation of William Golding's novel of the same name. It was directed by Peter Brook and produced by Lewis M. Allen, known since for producing films based on modern-classic novels. The film was in production for much of 1961 though the film was not released until 1963. Golding himself supported the film. When Kenneth Tynan was a script editor for Ealing Studios he commissioned a script of Lord Of The Flies from Nigel Kneale, but Ealing Studios closed in 1959 before it could be produced. The pessimistic theme of the film is that fear, hate and violence are in- herent in the human condition - even when innocent children are placed in seemingly idyllic isolation.
