Twitter Capsule: Proficient! Kudos to Peck, Badham, Peters. Still, something off-putting about how these strands are braided.

VOR: ④  Maybe once I heard a real plea on behalf of the filmmaking, and I can't even recall where. Still, this film's shown impressive legs, its impact contained by but distinct from the book's.
