Man and Boy (2002 Simon Curtis)

BBC TV film of Tony Parsons' novel, adapted by Simon Hood (Becoming Jane and the new A Royal Night Out) - Curtis directed My Week with Marilyn. Unfortunately Ioan Gruffudd is not up to the task of the main role and his narration sounds flat. Natasha Little is the wife and Dominic Howell their son. With Ian McShane, Shelley Conn (somewhat typecast as an adulteress), Elizabeth Mitchell, Jack Shepherd and Pauline Collins.
