	This is an extremely tough quiz. Well done.

	Love the difficulty. You might want to accept Laclos for Dangerous Liaisons--it's true that the movie is based on the Hampton play, but the Hampton play is itself adapted from the Laclos novel.

	Also should accept "Karen Blixen" for '85, as Isak Dinesen was her pseudonym. Outstanding quiz!

	I guess renaming the movie to include the author's name helped a lot of people remember Sapphire in this sporcle quiz.

	Trivia note: The only two authors whose work has been adapted twice into Oscar-winning screenplays appear to be Mario Puzo and E.M. Forster. Also, both the 1982 and 1940 winners were named Donald Stewart.

	Also, it's worth noting that a lot of these were "adaptations" at all; they were screenplays based on original screen stories, back when the Academy had three screenwriting categories. "Here Comes Mr. Jordan", "Going My Way", and "Miracle on 34th Street" all, I believe, won the Oscar for Best Story.
