We certainly are getting some good scripts at the moment. Adrian Hodges is a TV writer having adapted The Ruby in the Smoke / Shadow in the North. This is a BBC film. We couldn't stop smiling. Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branagh were Oscar/BAFTA nominated. Eddie Redmayne plays Colin Clark on whose diary this was based. Judi Dench naturally steals every scene she's in.
Also: Julia Ormond, Pip Torrens, Emma Watson, Philip Jackson, Jim Carter.
Ph. Ben Smithard, Panavision. (Lots of TV: The Trip, Cranford etc.)
Conrad Pope's score is simple and good.
What's Olivier's great line at the end?
Today:
It's "I tried to change her but despite all my efforts she remained brilliant".
Simon Curtis is a TV director including Cranford, 20 000 Streets Under the Sky, Man and Boy.
Moves along wonderfully, propelled by script, without a wasted shot. If it's essentially a TV movie, let's have more of them.
