- Wonderful Adaptation (but different from the book)
No, this is not a faithful adaptation, but it is a very good adaptation. As this is a Masterpiece Theatre production, there is an introduction and a conclusion that is included, but not part of the actual film. The conclusion explains why so much of the novel was left out and explains some important plot points of the novel that were excluded from the film. This includes the the "Paris scene" as one reviewer distressingly noted--which ties up the loose ends concerning Count Fosco.

Noting that they wanted to make a 2 hour film, they did a superb job. And, really, this film would be more fun if you haven't read the book so please don't let that deter you if you haven't read the book. Actually, if you haven't read the book, I'd suggest ... Read More:

- A grand Victorian gothic adventure, filled with madness, stratagems, love, graves and dark, dark woods
"The bad dreams always come back again like unwanted friends," says Marion Fairlie, who with her half-sister, Laura, lives in a vast mid-Victorian country estate. "And last night I found myself in Limmeridge churchyard. Normally, people who are dead stay dead, just as normally it is the criminals who are locked up rather than the victims. But then, there was nothing normal about what happened to us..." And we're off on a first-class gothic story of madness, deception and villainy, based on Wilkie Collins' great novel of Victorian mystery. It's a good idea to pay close attention, because there are plots within plots, yet they all center on a cunning and ruthless scheme which involves, what else, money, lots of money.

- Haunting book, haunting movie
I saw this movie on the BBC some 8 years ago. It was one of the most haunting movies I had ever seen (and I've seen quite a few). The setting, plot and characters wouldn't leave my mind for weeks. Everything about this movie is great: the storyline (though very different from the book), the actors (Tara Fitzgerald does an excellent job), the acting, the setting, the camerawork and the music.
Of course, I also read the book and the book is also one of my favourite novels. But the movie is so different you'll be in for a few surprises even if you've already read the book. A well deserved five star rating!

- mixed feelings
I read the book first and I thought this film could have been very good if it had it not deviated so much from the book just to make it more dramatic. I think it's a shame that the makers of this film felt the need to turn Sir Percival Glyde into a completely unrealistically evil man just to fit in with a more modern concept of scandal. To me a big part of the brilliance of the book was the sympathy you are made to feel for him when you discover that the real reason behind the fraud he commited (which in the book was the worst of his crimes) was based on a scandal not of his doing and of which he was the victim rather than the perpetrator. Anne Catherick's mother should have been in it too and there should have been much more of Fosco particularly towards ... Read More:

- Shambles
Graves feature largely in this travesty of a film.
One grave not shown, was that of the Author, Wilkie Collins, {and the commotion therein.}
