Russ and I just finished the last episode (well, the last four episodes on the fourth disc) of the series Little Dorrit.
We were both mesmerized. Dickens paints his characters with a masterful stroke,
and the actors brought them to vivid life in this BBC production ~ exceedingly eccentric, endearing, or infuriating.
Romance, secrets, intrigue, complex plot, fascinating costumes and setting, and a satisfying ending.
I couldn't ask for more. Perfect viewing for October. It felt like a Halloween version of Pride and Prejudice. Grin.

thanks for this. just added it to my netflix!
I'm getting lots of great recommendations from you - Chasing Vermeer is here for special reading next week with a visiting Auntie. Keep telling us! I am grateful. :)
I loved Little Dorrit as well!!!! I love how Dickens has flawed Characters and touches on real life issues. Little Dorrit is a great example of a gentle quiet spirit : )
One of my very favorites. I am hoping I get it for Christmas from my hubby. Then I could watch it every single day.
Oh I saw it on PBS and I loved it too. I had never heard of it before so was completely hooked to see what would happen next. What a great idea to get it on DVD.
Looks wonderful! I added the movie and the book to my library must-check-outs!
I loved this one too!! I added it to my DVD collection, because I knew I'd want to watch it again :)
I love Dickens I'll have to give this a watch!
Oh thanks so much Heidi for a great new movie suggestion!! Sounds like it will be a winner! See you next week!
Your review intrigued me. I've started watching this. Definitely a "Halloween version of Pride and Prejudice"!!!
We just finished this last night and loved it! The entire cast did such an amazing job! Two thumbs up from us!
