This first film treatment of Bradbury’s novel was produced in England in 1966 and starred Oskar Werner as the fireman Guy Montag, Julie Christie as Linda Montag/Clarisse, and Cyril Cusack as Captain. This was Truffaut’s first color film and only English movie. The story follows the Fahrenheit 451 plot in which Guy Montag eventually becomes one of the book people who fight against the totalitarian regime dictating the confiscation of all books.

Produced by Lewis Allen | Directed by Francois Truffaut
