Yep, you are quick techfun!

George Orwell is the pen name for Eric Blair. He simply switched '48 to get '84.

There is a movie version that was pretty good. Forget what year...

You mean the John Hurt one?

Pam Hoffman said...

Hhmmm... Doesn't sound quite right. Lots of sephia and fairly accurate per the book, as I recall. Was John Hurt the main character? I think I know John Hurt. ??

I know that there are a couple out there.

If I find out, I'll come back and write it in. :)
