An excellent version of the story. Really sumptuous sets and an outstanding performance from Sir John Gielgud as the puritanical butler. A really great supporting cast including Joan Hickson, Glynis Barber. The interiors are excellent and no expense seems to have been spared on the period detail. But the outstanding role in this film belongs to Sir John who plays his lurking, censorious butler with a light, almost humorous touch. Highly recommended for fans of period drama.
