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?

I have been known to lie in bed planning my ideal screenplay.
I would just like to reassure you that this is perfectly normal behaviour.

It would be a mini-series, each episode a good two hours long
Of course it would. ;)

Two hours is necessary! It has a highly complex plot! Also, if they were any shorter, it would have to end at the meeting of Richard and Pen, and people would complain.

I was not complaining. ;)
