A difficult story but translated to film almost perfectly.
It is not easy to meet the expectations of thousands of readers of these popular adolescent novels once they have grown up. But this is an excellent try.
Spoilt to a certain extent my unspectacular casting of the children, but Ronald Fraser more than compensates!
Needless to say for a UK film of the period the lighting etc. is professional to the extreme.
