He also worked as a screenwriter, writing or co-writing the screenplays to the [[James Bond (film)|James Bond]] film ''[[Octopussy]]'', Richard Lester's ''[[The Three Musketeers (1973 film)|The Three Musketeers 1973]]'' and sequels, and Lester's film version of Fraser's own ''[[Flashman|Royal Flash]]'', among others.
