Downton Abbey flick



We went to the movie Tavern  to see the movie version of Downton Abbey.  I think the only people there in the theater were fans of the TV series of the same name and the same characters and the same story line.

That saved a lot of time, they did not have to established each character or their relationships with the other characters.

It was typically  British with everybody very polite and doing what customs expected of them according to their rank in society.

The character Maggie Smith played spit out one quip (or wise crack) after another.  I think that is all she said, she even quipped about her quips.

The scenes in the giant rooms of Downton Abbey was gruesomely  dark.  My only thought about that is TV lightening must be better than movie lightening.

Being a longtime fan, I enjoyed it.
