, 12 February 1999
Author: Joseph M. Keenan (keenan@northnet.org) from Ogdensburg NY

The adaptation is so good that one can read Waugh's novel while watching and practically not miss a word. The lush prose of the novel is there, as well as perfect visual imagery of the settings, absolutely essential to the integrity of the piece.
