Biography

Au cinéma, Sylvia Marriott contribue à dix-sept films (majoritairement britanniques), les trois premiers sortis en 1937 ; le dernier est le film américain Empire du soleil de Steven Spielberg (avec Christian Bale et John Malkovich), sorti en 1988. Mentionnons également deux réalisations de François Truffaut, Les Deux Anglaises et le Continent (1971, avec Jean-Pierre Léaud) et L'Histoire d'Adèle H. (1975, avec Isabelle Adjani dans le rôle-titre).

À la télévision (surtout britannique), elle apparaît dans quatorze séries entre 1954 et 1983, dont La Grande Caravane (série-western américaine, deux épisodes, 1959-1960) et Doctor Who (épisode Meglos, 1980).

S'ajoutent deux téléfilms, le premier d'origine théâtrale en 1955 ; le second est La Mémoire dans la peau de Roger Young (1988, avec Richard Chamberlain et Jaclyn Smith), où elle tient son dernier rôle à l'écran.

Elle meurt sept ans plus tard, en 1995, à 78 ans.

The film's plot exhibits some differences from that of the novel by Ludlum. The undercover identity of Jason Bourne is simplified. In the book, David Webb, because of his amnesia, believes himself to be Jason Bourne and an assassin called Cain. In the film, the name Cain is left out. In the film, Carlos is shown to be responsible for killing Webb's wife and child, which is not the case in the novel. Alexander Conklin is accidentally shot by his own people when attempting to kill Bourne; in the novel he survives and appears in subsequent novels. In the book's ending, Carlos escapes in the confusion, whereas in the film he is gunned down at the last moment by Bourne/David Webb. Because Carlos is the primary antagonist of the original Bourne trilogy (although only The Bourne Supremacy had been published when the film was produced), this essentially ends the story with one film.

Framing Story Five strangers board a descending lift, one by one, in a modern office block in London. They reach the sub-basement, though none of them have pressed for that destination. There they find a large, elaborately furnished room which appears to be a gentlemen's club. The lift door has closed and there are no buttons to bring it back, nor any other exit. Resigned to waiting for help, they settle down with drinks and talk. The conversation turns to dreams, and each man tells of a recurring nightmare.
