Aww, Walter Blythe...

Good list you've got there!
We should have a bit North and South party sometime ay! You could bring your amazing dresses and we could drink tea while we watch it [on the big screen]... yeah.

I'd forgotten about Johannes! That scene in the movie, about the soap, even though it isn't in the book, it has got to be one of my absolute favourite film scenes of all time.

I always cry so much when Walter dies! I don't think I've ever cried so much over a book. :-(

I Am David - I've read the book, haven't seen the movie. What's the movie like?

Livi said...

Theresa - We should do that!

Elise - The movie is good but quite different from the book, still well worth watching though.
