The Long Good Friday Screenplay by Barrie Keeffe

The screenplay behind a landmark British gangster film, filled with sharp dialogue, mounting tension and the gritty atmosphere that made it unforgettable.

Some treasures at Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Others are here because they belonged to my dad and formed part of a collection shaped by his life in acting and scriptwriting.

Dad genuinely loved British cinema, crime films and the craft behind storytelling on screen. Books like this offered more than the finished film, revealing how dialogue, character and tension were first built on the page.

Written by Barrie Keeffe, The Long Good Friday became one of the defining British crime films of its era, with Bob Hoskins delivering one of his most memorable performances. This Methuen edition contains the screenplay alongside cast and production material.

Dad occasionally wrote his name inside books from his personal library, and this copy includes his signature on the front endpaper. It is a particularly meaningful piece from his collection and a fascinating find for admirers of British cinema, screenwriting and classic gangster films.

A distinctive screenplay edition from Dad's shelves, ready to continue its story with another film enthusiast.

Arya's Approval

Right darlings… sharp suits, London gangsters and somebody staring furiously into the distance while holding a whisky. Dad clearly understood proper dramatic standards.
