Have just read this on the BBC website , its just been announced at the Cannes Film Festival? I think this could be an interesting choice what do we all think ?

Yeah I think it will be good remake, set in the 60s, rather than the 30s

And Helen Mirren will be in it too

I'm looking forward to it

I loved the book and the original film, so as they have some decent actors signed up, I am presuming it will be a decent a script.........

Bad casting, bad script: it's like a forgettable watered down TV miniseries.

Well, you thought wrong! Mirren and John Hurt were utterly wasted in this middling film version!
