Which version of P&P did you watch? The Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle mini-series is my favourite version.

That is my usual go-to as well William!
I dont have all my belongings with me, but found the Keira Knightley / Matthew McFadyen on the shelf so I enjoyed the variations that version offered... especially noting changes in Brenda Blethyn's role interpretation and the differences in portrayal of opulence .
We could do a group watch if you'd like .. feel free to share any other titles of interest. I have Persuasion, Emma and Sanditon on request from library wait list..

I'd love to hear your response when you do... make a movie night?

Today I watched my first ever Guido Brunetti movie from library loans. I've read every Donna Leon of the series so this was a treat!
Additional surprise being English subtitled to German dialogue (though no mention of that on front cover).
Blood from a Stone
A few more to watch, so I'll update as I go..

Next Brunetti watched, #11 Wilful Behaviour well done

And.. excellent Donna Leon Murano Glass mystery set in Venice
#15 Through a Glass, Darkly

My viewing more Commissario Brunetti movies is outpacing recording.. def enjoying them.

Catching the Agatha Christie series starting this evening...
my fav Miss Marple, Joan Hickson, sleuthing in A Pocket Full of Rye
Any Christie readers in our group?

And...
Managed to add in a watch of Agatha Christie 's The Body in the Library another featuring Joan Hickson

Anticipating this weekend's completion of the excellent series of a lengthy read of Belgravia by Julian Fellowes

Thanks to local library stock, I've watched Donna Leon's Commissario Brunetti complete series of 16 movies to date. Beautiful Venetian sea settings .
Any other Brunetti fans?

I have seen the entire series twice and I have read every book. Huge Fan!

Oh fantastic! I've been rewatching as many as I can before library return due dates!
And yes, have read all but possibly one that a movie seemed new to me...

Appreciated today's viewing of a fav audio,

I finally watched the Keira Knightley one on the weekend. I think I looked the setting more. In my mind it seemed more realistic than the other one, but who knows. It certainly moved along quicker, which isn't surprising, considering how much shorter it is. Very enjoyable, anyway. I think the book is due a reread, as it's a few years since I read it.

Glad for having options...
And that you enjoyed it!
