Well, the film version is also a George Cukor film. It's a little hokey, and cuts out David's early schooling (so he meets Steerfield in Canterbury), and his job in London, he goes straight to being a writer. I don't know how I would have cut it to two hours, they keep most of the important dialogue, with one big exception being the Annie Strong comments I wrote about in my last post, but she wasn't a character in the movie. I have a little over 100 pages left to read, and I watched the whole movie, because I didn't feel like what was left was any surprise (I already knew how it ended.)
Going for a walk, will catch up on the book later. (Took the day off.)
