It is helpful to read a synopsis first, otherwise my favorite Dickens book put to screen. An all-star cast of brilliant actors produced in 2008 & watch their earlier careers. Alun Armstrong's best as the growling butler. Claire Foy as Amy Dorrit (Wolf Hall.) Judy Parfitt (Call the Midwife.) Tom Courtnay (Dr. Zhivago.) On & on. Dickens portrayal of Brit class system in 1850's is spot on & explanatory of social ills & inequality. "Office of Circumlocution" applies to present conditions.
