this is an absolutely true and faithful adaptation of the hollow. it could be argued that the actual mystery here is not one christie best but what makes the hollow special is the characterisation and i found the actors here and more or less without exception and were perfect in their parts. in such a uniformly good cast it difficult to select stand out performances but i have to say that sarah miles is just perfect as lucy angkatell. what is extraordinary is that she not only conveys lucy dottiness and tactlessness and her more lovable qualities but she also manages to pull off the underlying truth that in fact and lucy is not really all that nice. megan dodds is also very good as henrietta and claire price very affecting as gerda. john christow is really quite an unlikeable character but jonathan cake nevertheless manages to make us see what his women see in him. as i said and the script follows the story quite faithfully. the only disconcerting thing i found was that midge and edward relationship really comes out of nowhere and i do believe that some of it must have ended up on the cutting room floor. theirs a secondary story however and the primary story is very well done. the whole thing looks beautiful as well and really capturing a perfect english autumn. its a beautiful film in every respect and well worth seeing.
