Adequate adaptation..but they left out the entire story line about the boys (Georges and his friends) passing around counterfeit coins..and nearly getting caught. Also--the casting struck me as quite odd..I see the characters of Olivier, Bernard, and Lady Griffifth should have been a few years older...Olivier and Bernard look to be barely 14 years old..and the story seems weirdly pervy...the actors should have been closer to 15-16-17 in order to appear less prone to pedophiles (like Edouard and the Count). The story of Boris' suicide also was quite truncated..and made little sense.
