First Lines: Michael Innes - The Journeying Boy
On the morning of Monday, the 4th of August 1947, Mr Richard Thewless walked in pleasant sunshine through the West End of London.

Howards End (1992)
A businessman thwarts his wife's bequest of an estate to another woman.
A successful adaptation of E.M. Forster's novel about moral hypocrisy thanks to a wonderful cast and tasteful production.
On renewed viewing: a classic of its own kind; always worth a rewatch.
Halliwell***: "The best of the adaptations of Forster's novels, in which
the nostalgia is undercut by an examination of the moral bankruptcy of
the ruling class."
Maltin****: "Sumptuous, stimulating adaptation of E.M Forster's novel of
class distinction...Extraordinarily good on every level."
