The Other Film Critic at The New Yorker

Gilliatt also thrived, at first, on the half-year schedule of reviewing films in New York and writing for page and screen in London. Her screenplay for 1971?s Sunday, Bloody Sunday garnered an Oscar nomination?as well as Kael's approval?for its sensitive portrayal of a love triangle between a divorced working woman, a well-off Jewish doctor, and the man they both fall for. (Triangles figured prominently in Gilliatt's fiction, from her 1965 debut novel One by One to the playlet Property, a devastating portrayal of a woman caught, like chattel, between her first two husbands.)* Her strongest short-story collection, Nobody's Business (1972), featured charming, off-kilter, dialogue-driven portraits of those looking for ?grace of mortal order? in a chaotic world. (One prescient story looks at the relationship between a cyberneticist and his creation, FRANK, for ?Family Robot Adapted to the Needs of Kinship.?)
