Thomas Anstey Guthrie - 1856 — 1934Many of Anstey's stories have been adapted into theatrical productions and motion pictures.
The Tinted Venus was adapted into a silent film, The Tinted Venus, in 1921.
The Tinted Venus was adapted by S. J. Perelman, Ogden Nash, and Kurt Weill into One Touch of Venus in 1943. A 1948 film, One Touch of Venus (film), was based on Guthrie's book and the musical.
Vice Versa was adapted as a play in 1883 and has been filmed many times, usually transposed in setting and without any credit to the original book. Another of his novels, The Brass Bottle, has also been filmed more than once, including The Brass Bottle (1964). His Tourmalin's Time Cheques (1891) is one of the earliest stories featuring the science fiction concept of intentional and frequent movement in time, and probably the first to investigate the practical paradoxes such a concept would create.
