Rumsey adapted three works by the prolific Irish writer, dramatist and poet Lord Dunsany (1878–1957 – full name: Edward Plunkett, 18th Baron of Dunsany). In Nature and Time (1975 – the first of the film-maker’s projects to be shot in 35mm) the titular mythical characters stride through London town, ending with a grim prediction about an increasingly urbanised world. 1978’s In the Twilight is set on a beautiful summer’s day in 1910 and features a man who falls overboard while out boating. While attempting to reach the surface, the man strikes his head on the keel and sinks to bottom. In the ensuing twilight world he sees past scenes from his life. This film was selected as an “Outstanding Film of the Year” by the London Film Festival. Rumsey’s third and final Dunsany adaptation was The Pledge (1981), based on the author’s story “The Highwayman”. In 1790, the compatriots of an executed highwayman attempt to keep their word to him by cutting down his rotting corpse and interring it in an Archbishop’s tomb, believing that only this course of action will free their friend’s soul.

Rumsey made two films inspired by the work of English author Ernest Bramah (1868–1942): The Moonlight Comb (1974) shows the film-maker taking five colleagues, costumes and props, to the rugged landscape of Wester Ross in Scotland. Living in an isolated cottage they attempt to film a Bramah story set in a mythical, medieval China but inevitably, everything that can go wrong does. Nevertheless, the project is saved by the humour of the cast. In Out of Reach (1980), Rumsey told the tale of a sad and lonely young poet who wishes to emulate his hero Thomas Chatterton. Rejected by his publishers, the poet retreats into a symbolic world, his mind filling with images of robber barons, medieval castles and magical swords. Tricked by a duplicitous sorcerer, he is convinced that if he could just travel to the moon, he will obtain his heart’s desire.
