I'm sure that Private Fears in Public Places will not make my top 10 for the year but it is the best of the few French light comedy dramas I've seen this year.

It seemed like a huge step down for Resnais but as previously mentioned, he is a big fan of Alan Ayckbourn's plays and as such, this is a good translation with a touch of Gallic warmth. I have to wonder what the general populace of France thought of it though as it still has a very British feel, particularly to the sometimes acerbic nature of the humour.

Cheers Trev.
