A review by Peter McGinn

Written by Peter McGinn on 2023-05-09

I had seen at least one version of this novel adapted for film, but I have always liked Martin Clunes so I wanted to watch this one. He does his usual stellar performance in the title role, and Victoria Hamilton, who stood out in Lark Rise to Candleford, is vivacious and perfect here as Kathie.

The movie is perfectly fine, though I can’t say I will be drawn to watch it again in the future.
