- Hi !

- The first several books I read were set at Blandings, and I've always liked
- Lord Emsworth and Gally. The only Psmith I've read is _Leave it to Psmith_,
- which I've long thought should be made into a movie (by Merchant-Ivory,
- perhaps?).
-
-
- 'Leave it to Psmith' was made into a television serial in India about 4 years
- back. Although it was in an Indian language (Hindi) and most of the Wodehouseian
- charm (as far as language goes) was lost, it still made interesting viewing
- because of the plot.
-
- Yes, the idea of a movie is good but I would think that Merchant-Ivory movies
- are usually of a serious or classic nature.
