This evening we finished watching the BBC/A & E version of Charles Dickens' "Bleak House", which came out in 2005. Had actually watched it before when shown on TV, but decided to watch again on DVD. Excellent production, put together in 15 segments, the first was one hour, and the rest were each a half hour. One thing we realized, though, was that the DVD trimmed at least one scene that we had seen in the TV broadcast, so that wasn't good. Very much a Dickens story, with good and bad characters, tangled plotlines that involve everyone, with lies and secrets and murder, love and death, illegitimacy, greed, and dark humor. The whole court muddle concerning Jarndyce and Jarndyce case was so interesting in itself. Well cast, with Gillian Anderson playing Lady Dedlock, Anna Maxwell Martin, Patrick Kennedy, Denis Lawson, Charles Dance (great villainous lawyer), and Carey Mulligan playing the principals. And Pauline Collins was wonderful as Miss Flite. Very enjoyable production, and worth watching again.
