CGiii Comment
The novel is wondrous, the film is trash.
The blame lies squarely with Richardson.
The casting is terrible, the writing appalling - considering he just copied it from a book, it is unforgiveable.
The richness of the book becomes a squalid desert of lowlights.
A terrific example of how not to adapt a book.

The film talks about a family that weathers all sorts of disasters and keeps going in spite of it all. It is noted for its wonderful assortment of oddball characters.
