Don't bother with the play. Watch the movie



Just watched both and the movie version was much better.

I say don't bother with the play or the movie and watch the original British TV version with Joss Ackland and Claire Bloom. That one at least stayed close to historical accuracy and also didn't disgracefully try to downplay the importance of Christianity and Christian faith in the lives of these people (indeed, without the mutual bond of Christianity there is no story between C.S. Lewis and Joy Davidman)

I think this movie is great. I would like for my mother to see it too. Unfortunately she needs norwegian subtitles to follow the story in a meaningful way. I've been trying for years to find a version she could watch.
