Movies written by Tom Stoppard to stream
By Elisabeth Vincentelli

It is common nowadays for playwrights to go back and forth between stage and screen assignments, but Tom Stoppard, whose death at 88 was announced Saturday, was an early adopter of the practice, with TV credits going back to the early 1960s.

Some entries in his impressively lengthy collection of screenplays were originals, but he was especially in demand both as a script doctor (usually uncredited) and as a go-to scribe for literary adaptations. In that latter capacity, he was able to tackle novels by writers as wildly different as John le Carré, Leo Tolstoy, E.L. Doctorow, Vladimir Nabokov, J.G. Ballard and Ford Madox Ford.

Below you will find a selection of films with Stoppard screenplays that are available on major U.S. streaming platforms. (Those curious about his work on Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s “Despair,” a Nabokov adaptation, will have to poke around YouTube.)

‘The Romantic Englishwoman’

(1) 'The Human Factor'
