  Beautiful Rhododendrons
  
  Without a doubt, this recent TV version of the book is visually far more authentic than the definitive 1940 Hollywood film, but after that, it trails far behind... read more »

  Just like the book
  
  I really enjoyed the book and was not disapointed by the film. I think this was made for TV as it is in 2 parts. Nice to watch on Sunday afternoon.
