Title: A big disappointment
Review: In the late 70ies I saw the amazing version of "Our Mutual Friend" when it was shown on TV in the Soviet Union - and repeated later once more, in the early or mid 80ies. I was amazed how well the TV version matched my own impression of the book, which has been always my very favourite Dickens novel. The only thing that looked untruthful was that old Betty Higden had very good teeth, which was totally impossible at her age and at that time. But everything and everyone else were absolutely recognizable and amazingly truthful. Unfortunately - and totally unexplainably - that BBC version does not exist on video - as well as, by the way, "The Forsyte Saga". For anyone who is familiar with the older BBC movie their new attempt to create another "Our Mutual Friend" cannot be but a total disaster.
Is the review positive or negative?
