Nigel Balchin's novel was first published in 1951, but was updated to the 21st century for this movie adaptation.
Separate Lies (2005) is a British drama film directed by Julian Fellowes, who also wrote the screenplay, updating the 1951 novel "A Way Through the Wood" by Nigel Balchin, which had already been turned into a stage play under the title "Waiting for Gillian" in 1954. The film stars Tom Wilkinson, Emily Watson and Rupert Everett. "Separate Lies" marked the directorial debut of Fellowes, who had worked mostly as an actor and won an Academy Award® with his screenplay for Robert Altman's Gosford Park (2001).
In 1954, Nigel Balchin's 1951 novel "A Way Through the Wood" was adapted by Ronald Millar into a stage play, "Waiting for Gillian," which ran in the West End of London for 101 performances.
