Hi Bernard,

I’m looking forward to your new book (published this September, I think?) but for the moment I’m finishing ‘Great North Road’ before going on to ‘The Pagan Lord’. Coming back to Waterloo, however, I’m wondering if you’ve ever watched the film version directed by Dino de Laurentis? If so (apologies if this is putting you on the spot), what did you think to it?
