Cold Comfort Farm (1995) - PART 9

In England in the early 1930's, 20 year old Flora Poste, recently orphaned and left with only 100 pounds a year, goes to stay with distant relatives on Cold Comfort Farm. Everyone on the gloomy farm is completely around the twist, but Flora tries to sort everything out...

This is yet another great adaptation of a great book - and it's so delightfully funny and cleverly-written. Kate is so lovely in her role as Flora. Her appearance as a penniless heroine reminded me of Emma Woodhouse and Northanger Abbey. Don't miss the hilarity-driven performances by respected actors like Ian McKellen, Eileen Atkins, Rufus Sewell, Stephen Fry, and Rupert Penry-Jones!

Miss Post is a miracle worker! She has truly improved the lives of all of these miscreants.

I like the organ - when he stops pumping it drops in pitch. Think about it.

@acutee2 I keep thinking she's a fairy godmother but then I'm a bit worried about the woodshed. I wonder if whatever it is will change them forever. :)

Rennet still looks daft as a brush even when she's clean, a few chromosomes short of a full set, that one.

No matter how many times I watch this film I still break out laughing at some of Eileen Atkins' facial expressions.
