Customer Reviews

“Cover her face, mine eyes dazzle, she died young”-The Duchess of Malfi.

This six-part 291-minute presentation is my introduction to P.D. James. Naturally, I had to buy the book. Naturally, the book is better. However, that is not to distract from the film that took the time to really tell the story and keep you glued to the screen. I discovered a new favorite and intend to work my way through the balance of the films. Even with the length of time to present this story, they had to cut corners. However, in places, it was like reading the book word for word. Yet, the film neglects to mention that Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh is wealthy and owns a yacht. The story is sort of convoluted. There are quite a few characters, and they all look guilty. It appears that everyone had an opportunity to do it. Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) has a way of making everyone confess and look right through you. Sally Jupp (Kim Thomson) is visiting her old job in London when she meets an old friend. Soon her friend is dead, and she just misses seeing the culprit(s) that did the deed. The story gets a little stickier when we find that Sally is an unwed mother with a mysterious father and a new love. She may not turn out to be sweetness and light. This can lead to many tragedies. Some of the scenery will rival the actors and story for your attention.
