It's a fine, fine movie, and a shame it's not available on DVD, but it's not better than the story. I think in this case it's just not useful to make the comparison, because they're both exemplary in their respective media. That the film has to end with voice-over from the book betrays the extent to which it's still in its source's shadow, actually. (Though I'll admit that since seeing the film my reading of the story has been in the shadow of the film: I find it difficult to extricate how I imagine some of the characters from how they appear on screen: Freddy Malins, Mr. Brown, Kate and Julia....) Regardless, a beautiful film no doubt. I haven't seen it in years, actually. What the hell? I suppose folks here have it on laser disk or something....
