Precious Bane was ...Hi Sue, thanks for dropping by. Precious Bane was made into a BBC TV film in the late 1980's starring Janet McTeer as Prue and Clive Owen (Children of Men, Closer) as Gideon. It was a very sensitive and well made film that led me to the book. Wonderful performances for a beautiful story. So began my love for Mary Webbs book. You can't get hold of the film as far as I know. I have tried all avenues I could think of and it just does not seem to be available. My copy is an old video tape copied from the TV.<BR/>Nice to meet you too. Its always good to chat to other Mary Webb fans.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07401356477073274808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021038529157162805.post-52157541741514826242008-06-23T21:49:00.000-07:002008-06-23T21:49:00.000-07:00Hi, I live in the States, in Utah. Precious Bane...Hi, I live in the States, in Utah. Precious Bane is one of my all time favorite books. I first read it in high school and read it again a couple of years ago. I clicked on to your site because it is your fav book, too. I saw that it is one of your favorite movies, too. I didn't know they made a movie of it. When was it made and who was in it? I would love to find a copy and see it. I love your list of books to read and I am proud to say that I have read several of them already. I am always looking for good books to read. I just finished reading "John Adams" by David McCullough. HBO did a mini-series of it this spring. I haven't seen it yet, but want to. Nice to meet you.
