Ulysses is a 1967 British-American drama film based on James Joyce's novel Ulysses. It concerns the meeting of two Irishmen in the Dublin of 1904. Starring Milo O'Shea as Leopold Bloom, Barbara Jefford as Molly Bloom, Maurice Roëves as Stephen Dedalus, T. P. McKenna as Buck Mulligan and Sheila O'Sullivan as May Golding Dedalus, it was adapted by Fred Haines and Joseph Strick, and directed by Strick. Haines and Strick shared an Oscar nomination for the screenplay. There have been other films based on Ulysses but this one stands out for its fidelity to the book and the fact that almost the entire screenplay is taken from lines in the book. It was perhaps the first motion picture to use the word "fuck". The film was shot on location in Dublin on a modest budget. It was entered into the 1967 Cannes Film Festival. Festival organizers deleted some of the French subtitles without informing the director. When Strick noticed the deletions during the film's screening, "he stood up and yelled out that this film had been censored," Strick's son David told the Los Angeles Times. "He went upstairs to the projection booth and turned off the switches. He was then pushed down a flight of stairs by festival goons. My father and his associates withdrew the film immediately from the festival," David Strick said. LESS
