It's a brilliant novel, John. I've read it numerous times over the decades and although Latimer becomes Leyden in the film version, I think Negulesco did a marvelous jod bringing alive the time and place. Fascinating that you bring another author who is one of my favorites into the mix. Charles Portis. Very unlike Mr. Ambler, but equal pleasure.

Interesting take.
