Victor,

I think you'll like Tess, the film. Just keep in mind that Polanski, like many a good director, puts a strong authorial "stamp" on his films. (Is it apparent yet that I adore Polanski?) But in no way does he violate the novel.

Which reminds me: Has anyone seen the musical version of Tess now playing in London? Yes, that's right, a musical Tess! I paused awhile outside the Strand where it was playing, but couldn't bring myself to buy a ticket and opted for a nice jazz club down the street instead.
