THE NO.1 LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY

… Over and done with. Watched the movie yesterday on TV, liked it, but it didn’t make me relieve the mystery and excitement of reading the book while living around the places where Mma Ramotswe unveiled the cases that came to her.
Well, Anthony Minghella himself said something to the effect that “a good book always survives its adaptation, however good the latter may be”…
But, by all means, do watch it if it comes your way and make your own judgment. The late film director and the all set of actors surely deserve it.
