Posted: 7/5/10 at 6:55pmI just finished watching this movie. I rented it for free from the library! It's from 1983 and it stars Michael Caine and Julie Walters- both nominated for Oscars for their roles in this movie. To all you younguns'- if you have never seen it- please do! It is such a charming film! Michael and Julie are superb- really superb! I am in such a good mood after watching this! Just had to post!

Posted: 7/5/10 at 7:04pmI've always thought this was one of the better stage-to-screen adaptations - buoyed strongly by the two performances. That was my first exposure to Julie Waters, and I've been in love ever since.

Posted: 7/5/10 at 9:06pmShe's just outstanding in the movie, although I'm not positive I'd call it charming.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Saw this on dvd a couple of years ago (I loved it so much I started a thread about it too!) and it remains a favorite.
Julie Walters was wonderful!
