Goofs

Wardrobe continuity error. When Diana first encounters Matthew in the library, when we see his hand catching the book which flew off the shelf, he is wearing a charcoal wool blazer. For the remainder of the scene he is wearing a regular black suit jacket or blazer instead. The charcoal wool blazer does make an appearance again for a subsequent scene.

User Reviews

Books and movie great'

Read book 1 and the book and the movie are close enough for avid fans to enjoy! Great casting and beautiful venues for the show! Matthew and Diana are better than expected but the supporting cast is well done too. Worth the watch and want to see what they do with book 2!
