I love this feature! Awesome posts, thanks :)
Maggie Smith...I think she was in a version of "Secret Garden" too? As Mrs. Medlock?
Wow, Greg Wise sure looks different once he's old! I didn't know he was in Cranford...Another reason to watch it. :)
Mmmm, do you like Adam Bede? I think it's on my to-see list...
Delightful! Thanks again for posting...I've greatly enjoyed both posts. :)
Charity,
Adam Bede wasn't very good. I thought Susannah Harker was good in it, but overall it wasn't very good. It's one of those movies where you see it once but don't see it again.
whoa, interesting post. All of your connections were surprizing. I can hardly belive that Wickham and Albert are one and the same actor!
