Strictly Speaking

Clever turns of phrase, classic one-liners, and stunning monologues are found in spades in these films, in which talk takes precedence over action. Boasting literate, thought-provoking dialogue, these movies are actor's showcases, and in some instances, faithful adaptations of material that originated on the stage.
