is actually a website ( http://www.amitc.org/ ) devoted to lobbying for a North American DVD version of the film. Given that the website was set up in 2007, I'd say they have not been successful so far. Nice link, but it does look like it is getting nowhere. Honestly, while I'd love for them to find the pristine copy they are looking for, I hope to just see the film, in any quality, someday. If I find one, Kevin, you'll be the first to know. I haven't seen the film version either, but I've heard it praised and I believe the performances from (much younger) Firth and Branagh are worthwhile. Carr tends to be remembered solely for this book, I was curious to see what his other stuff is like. So I bought a couple of the other novels directly from his imprint (Quince Tree Press), which was a pleasantly old-school experience involving use of the cheque book; I bought A Season in Sinji and The Harpole Report. I read the former and really enjoyed it, enough to make me think all of Carr is worth a look. It's a hard-to-categorise book, involving World War 2, cricket, the class system, betrayal, sexual frustration, anti-authoritarianism, death, mental breakdown and aerial photography (for starters). Leroy: Many thanks for that comment -- I too had taken a short look for other work from Carr and saw the generally negative reviews. Once I get through my rather large current backlog, I'll have another look.
