The Wombat File Is Yours to Keep

Here we go:

1. The author Diane Johnson is widely known as the author of trans-Atlantic comedies of manners such as Le Marriage, L'Affaire and Le Divorce, which was shortlisted for the 1997 National Book Award. When Le Divorce was adapted for the movies several years later, she did not join on the writing of the screenplay. However, she does have one screenplay co-writing credit -- an adaptation of a different novel, for a film released in 1980. What was the film?

2. British playwright John Osborne, the author of the famous play Look Back in Anger, won an Academy Award for his 1964 screenplay adaptation of what classic novel?

3. The formerly blacklisted screenwriter Waldo Salt won academy awards for adaptations of two novels, one by James Leo Herlihy and one by George Davis. Although they were by two different directors, they both had a male star in common. One film is considerably more well-known than the other. What were their titles?

First correct answer to all three wins two passes to the omnibus press screening for the following failed superhero movie projects: Green Lantern: His Ring Can Only Make Green Things, Power Man and Iron Fist Attempt to Mine the Last Vestiges of 70's Nostalgia, and Bat-Mite vs. Mister Mxyzptlk in the Museum of Giant Replicas. No Googling or saying Mister Mxyzpltk's name backwards. One guess at any part of any question per comment, but comment as often as you like.
