Adapted by him and Martin Donovan, Ireland has delivered a quite cinematic treatment of Elizabeth Taylor's novel - it's not all verbal. Look at the ending for example, when Ludo emerges from hospital to girlfriend Zoe Tapper - he doesn't even have to say anything, and nor does she.
I wanted to see a happier Rupert Friend (who Q describes in this as a 'beautiful horse') opposite a wonderful Joan Plowright in a film that is warm like a welcome hug. Honestly - these people with their own special types of marmalade - I don't know...
The song Rupert beautifully sings to Joan is 'For All We Know', originally performed by Rosemary Clooney (music J Fred Coots, lyrics Sam Lewis).
