mickman91-1 Review of The Woman in White

The Woman in White (1982– )

An excellent adaptation. Very faithful. Of its time but charming and enjoyable.

[7/10 · 17 November 2021]

While this is very much of its time - a low budget 80s television adaptation - it is highly commendable. It has a long runtime so the novel is covered in full. Although it is stuffy and everything you expect of early British tv adaptations, the characters actually really come to life and it's one you remember long after having seen it. I think the 2018 version is a better production - it gets the tone and atmosphere of the novel really accurately that this one is missing because of the lack of production budget. But the characters are more memorable in this version and it is more charming because of its age. It is also available on YouTube. Both are very faithful and thorough adaptations. Skip the 1997 version . Too short and poor in most regards.
