It's a wonderful script. Robert Hamer adapted it himself, but there are pieces in it that are worthy of Oscar Wilde.
Have you read his short story "Antiquities"?

And -- I appreciate your relaxed way with spreading the joy of reason(s); as always, I look forward to your reply. And to mine, unknowable as it now must be.
You write about art—music, movies, books—so lucidly, I become instantly curious about things I had never heard of, and you discuss those things which I do know about with equal lapidary enthusiasm. And on top of that, you sent me music I didn't know I needed.
