Casting Heyer

[girlyswot]

callmemadam wonders why Georgette Heyer novels have not made it to the silver screen here. In point of strict fact, I feel obliged to note that The Reluctant Widow was apparently filmed in 1950 but sank without trace (Has anyone seen it? Is it as awful as it is made out to be? The IMDB entry suggests it bore little resemblance to the book.) Still, the field appears to be wide open and since TV and film producers aren't getting round to it, I feel that it is time for my trusty flist to spring into action.

Which Heyers would you most like to see filmed? And what would be your ideal cast?

She has that slightly pointy chin, and her hair is perfect, especially here. I do not see a resemblance, myself, but then I never do.

The hair is fab. I looked on her Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauren_Ambrose) and I think the resemblance is striking.
