With Cornwell's acting skills I am not surprised he was a good interview.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-26883514225174753242016-02-21T15:25:09.687-06:002016-02-21T15:25:09.687-06:00Tonight I am watching the new BBC adaptation of Th...Tonight I am watching the new BBC adaptation of The Night Manager!

We recently watched The Spy Who Came in from the Cold with Richard Burton, and on the Blu-Ray, there was an interview with Cornwell about the making of the movie, his participation, etc. He seemed very down to earth and it was a good interview.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-54914755723921954542016-02-17T19:55:38.956-06:002016-02-17T19:55:38.956-06:00Margot: Thanks for the comment.

As you say, it's no wonder, really, that he sought escape in writing. It's interesting, too, that there's so little in this book about his adult years (his family, etc). It makes me wonder why Sisman made that choice. In any case, this sounds like a fascinating read. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
