A delightful film! Sadly, like too many Canadian productions . . . NO CLOSED CAPTIONING! An occasional few words printed in English but the rest we deaf are left to imagine what is being said.

Am enjoying reading this story. Just wish that EPL was not forced to purchase the U.S. publications. Just wish the U.S. publishers did not find it necessary to translate U.K. spellings to U.S. spellings.

Oh, my goodness! What a delightful read! Her description of the Tea meeting put me in mind of the council meetings in the Vicar of Dibley. I laughed until I cried.

This film has moved me so much, I find it impossible to express my feelings. So, I will thank EPL for having it for us and I thank all the viewers here who have expressed their thoughts so eloquently.

A great depiction of a horrendous plot. The cast was well chosen and presented their characters to perfection. Angela Lansbury oh gosh let me count the ways! And, Frank Sinatra?
A marvel! Loved the whole opening scene on the stage.

Super film! Put me in mind of Kevin Costner's McFarland, USA. That was, of course, about Latino lads shepherded into champion distance runners in Southern California. Now, Cliff Curtis's Dark Horse is about Maori youngsters already experimenting with chess but Coach leads them into perfection. The varied ages as well as both lads and lassies make it more interesting for me. My daughter, the school teacher, opined "Too much swearing!" I replied "Am guessing most of the dialogue was improvised." Still, I find it interesting that the cultures of two countries so far apart in distance are so similar. Kudos to EPL for having this film of which many of us have probably never heard. I discovered it through the APTN which does a remarkable job of telecasting films that our national networks ignore.Super film! Put me in mind of Kevin Costner's McFarland, USA.

Ms Binchy describes Chestnut Street as "horseshoe shaped" what we up here call Crescent, I believe. I enjoyed her little tales of the collection of characters. Descriptions of their appearance, habits, weaknesses, strengths. Alas, no more in the future. R.I.P. Maeve.

A really interesting film. I loved the underwater scenes. The swimming was exceptional. Black and white but still imaginative. But, oh that bra Adams was wearing at the beginning! Would have put out the eyeballs of the critter!

I enjoyed this book immensely! If I was younger and richer and less terror stricken by the thought of a 30-plus hour aeroplane trip, I would definitely want to visit New Zealand. Atherton has described locations she visits in her quest for the young heiress beautifully.

This is a great movie! Has adventure, travel, history and love.

Oh, my goodness, where to start!
This is a superb series for the cast alone if not for the subject matter.
Keri Russell as Elizabeth Jennings, Matthew Rhys as Philip Jennings, Noah Emmerich as Stan Beeman, Richard Thomas as Frank Gaad, Alison Wright as Martha Hanson for just the “leads” are super!
My favourite? has to be Margo Martindale as Claudia and Granny. She is a pistol as both characters.
Derek Luke as Gregory Thomas introduces an interesting hypothesis of a black man “turned” by Soviet spy Elizabeth. When she attempts to save him from retribution by the FBI with a promise of a privileged life in Moscow, he queries “Can you see me in Moscow?”
For a hearty chuckle at the failed attempt by all forces and vehicles to capture the two spies but unknown as Elizabeth and Philip, it surpasses The French Connection.
Anywhoo, I have returned Season 1 to-night so someone is in for a treat.Oh, my goodness, where to start!
