[Hardy-l] The Woodlanders

[TonyAshling at swtrains.co.uk]

Thanks Rosemarie. 

I know The Woodlanders has been on television before, but I always managed 
to miss it, so was pleased to catch it last night. I thought it was good, 
better than I expected, pretty faithful to the novel. It runs for about 
ninety minutes which is at least thirty too short, consequently the 
characters and storyline, whilst quite accurate, are not developed enough. 
The scenery is beautiful and yes, the changing seasons are noticeable and 
do enhance the film. The ending was somewhat abrupt and not how the book 
ended which was disappointing. Overall though I enjoyed it, in my opinion 
it is one of the better attempts to transfer Hardy to film.

Kind regards,
Tony
