Cover Her Face 1985 EPISODE 6 DVDRiP XviD

[@warninghonestyahead]

What I love best about this series, is that it is so faithful to the source material - the novels by P. D. James. Modern adaptations of novels try to fit everything into an hour and a half, and they cut out everything they deem to be insignificant to the main push of the story. But this series takes six hours to tell the story of a single book, and every detail is considered important. It's as though the screenwriters knew that, if it was important enough to be included in the original story, then it was important enough to include in the adaptation. It shows so much respect for the source material, and a willingness to take things slow in order to tell a story well.

[@VLind-uk6mb]

You will hate the new series with the otherwise appealing Bertie Carvel. It has three adaptations (not this one) and they are a travesty of the original adaptations, let alone the books. And there is speculation about a second series...which would almost certainly include this, and Devices and Desires (two of the best books).

[@jdevivre7512]

Yes, I noticed that taking of time when I came across these a couple yrs ago, after having seen them when they first came out. I then realized that all mystery adaptations these days, as you say, are 1 1/2 hrs long, 3 hrs at a push. All they do is show what happened, and then almost immediately explain the solution. These 6-episode ones allow for a lot of time for the audience to take in all the details, guess, and then revise their guesses a few times. Time is esp needed for the complexity of PD James. I love these adaptations! Thank you for uploading.

[@susanelainesanner]

I've been reading P. D. James' "A Taste for Death" and weeks later watching this series' production of the same novel. What a surprise and thrill to hear exact quotes from the novel in the video version. I have great respect for Ms. James' writing, her use of words is delightful and brilliant. Thus, this series of the movie versions of her writings delights me with the honor I see in their respect of her words. There is fine literature in video, but it is so very rare.

[@jamesrouillardjas1671]

[@AdirondackRuby]

Yes. I've enjoyed the music almost more than the story. And with Morse! (as well as Lewis and Endeavour!) Such wonderful compositions. Barrington Pheloung is marvelous.

[@tsilsby888]

Did you know the music from Morse was based on the morse code signals that spelled his name?

[@Hecate2011]

No, I didn't. Interesting.

[@eplseaman2192]

I couldn't agree with you more. Morse is the absolute best, in my opinion, Dalgleish is definitely a very close second.

[@eplseaman2192]

It's the music I was talking about, not the actors, productions, etc.

[@levanthasis]

- Excellent series and unforgettable Mr. Marsden as "Dalgliesh" - other actors of this role pale in comparison, even special in themselves like Mr. Shaw as "Gently". Unique psychological "touch", Mr. Marsden had - straight, but mysterious. Somehow "absent" occasionally, but still present. On par with other - though all different from each others - three top seeds (imho): Mr. Brett as "Sherlock Holmes" and Mr. Suchet as "Hercule Poirot". - I say this despite of other great English Detective-Series in TV like: "Foyle", both "Morse's" - then there's an interval - after which comes series like "Inspector Lewis", "Midsomer Murders", with Mr. Nettles and perhaps few others. But only few. -

Marsden's Dalgiesh and Edward James Olmos' Lt. Castillo from Miami Vice have one thing in common. They are very subtle in their approach. In some cases, their words are hardly necessary; their facial expressions do the talking.

[@Kueytwo]

Wow, the one who lied the most turned out to be the most respectful and innocent. But still murdered off. PD James has some explaining to do.

[@maricamaas2326]

What do mean 'respectful and innocent'? To the contrary: Deceitful, manipulative, scheming, sly, vindictive... Sad, but also fortunate for her poor husband and child that her life was cut short, before she could destroy theirs.

[@maricamaas2326]

The charade staged by Deborah and Felix was beyond over-the-top🤦🏼‍♀️
Good for Catherine to not be hanging around anymore for crumbs from Stephen. Sadly true that often a supposed love interest is merely about being obsessed with obtaining a glorified object who is seemingly beyond reach; desiring to pick the forbidden/unreachable fruit (so to say), and to then lose interest, after the object had been secured. Soon to follow are disillusionment - accompanied by devaluation - preceding the eventual discard.

Her book sales hardly compare to those of Holmes or Christie. Perhaps a Watson or Hastings would have made Dagliesh more tolerable. And in my opinion there are far too many truly loathsome characters in each episode.

[@stevecharters8965]

The fight between Stephen and Derek never surfaced in the evidence; and was Sally drugged or not, awake or unconscious, when she was strangled by an elderly woman? Difficult to reconcile Stephen's immaturity, arrogance, rage and emotional vacillation with his position as a registrar in a London hospital! And why did the camera in the first episode cut between Stephen and Sally at the station if he wasn't actually following her? Rather unsatisfactory. And as for the police procedure: no lawyers or recording of interviews and DNA not yet current. Better use could be made of Felix' 'cover her face' quote.

[@talispoona]

@Dr Moriarty NEW? Morality??? This was written in the last century.... nowadays we don't need to justify or excuse anything... we've ... UHM..."progressed".

[@meofamily4]

It was no different with her godfather, when he was presented by Dalgleish with the evidence that the money was drug money: "It's not against the law to accept money to be deposited, or to send it to another country." But it is, and it always has been. That's why Switzerland had its laws about numbered bank accounts. For criminal uses.

Miss Liddell committed suicide (the shame of her crime). She embezzled the money in order to keep her mother in a home. At least, that's what I got out of it.

[@VLind-uk6mb]

@@janisf3135 It's laid out quite specifically in the scene with Miss Liddell's mother.

We are to conclude that she was driven to suicide by the bullying behavior of Sir Rupert. We are still in the dark as to who told him about the siphoning of funds.

@@Moonheartgirl I felt a lot of sympathy for Sally as a poorer young woman being treated with such hatred by her supposed 'betters' because they thought she was unmarried and thus deserving of being unwanted. The family disgusted me with their snobbery, especially the sister who considered Sally as not good enough for even being in the house, never mind good enough for the son of the house. Sally never even flirted with the son, never mind scheming to catch him. All she wanted was to be treated with some dignity by her employers.

Great stuff! So enjoyable that one is happy to disregard the farfetchedness of two murderers in the household along with another prepared to administer a drug overdose. It would have been a murder conviction, not manslaughter, because of intention to kill.

[@MissJessyeNorman]

MANSLAUGHTER?!?!!? For a 2nd degree murder? I know she was generally a kind lady, but she chose evil in that moment. The girl may have been trouble, but she wasn't evil. She had many good qualities, and she had been treated horribly by them. That's no excuse for her to have taken revenge. But she was obviously doing it out of low self-esteem and feelings of anger at class iniquity. If they'd had patience, it all could've been cleared up, even if she had been serious. She had BIG problems. BUT, they would've been able to handle her far better, and those problems, if it weren't for their own moral failings, which were just as large, and in many cases larger than her own. This seems a clear case of the defendant's class allowing her to get unfair advantage. AND, the housekeeper should've been charged for having been drugging her. And fine, the cop acts like a callous know-it-all, who takes over their home with extreme arrogance--but he still has the gall to make a social call after having thrown a bomb into their family. Yes, they committed the crimes--but you'd expect him to show respect for the family by not trying to ingratiate himself with them.

[@qhsperson]

I'm afraid you have no idea what an act of passion is like--I do, and it's no fun at all. It's not a rational act, suddenly wanting (and maybe trying) to kill someone.
I used to work with a young woman who was a bit like Sally Jupp, and first her husband found himself about to kill her, then (post-divorce) one of her boyfriends was in the act of choking her to death when he was interrupted, and even I found myself having a gut reaction to her one night on the job that scared me to death because I realized she was taunting me to the point of attacking her.
I figured she'd end up dumped in a ditch somewhere eventually, but I have no idea if she's still alive. Her ex-husband was a minister, by the way, with his own church. And yes, she had problems, but who doesn't? That doesn't entitle you to make as many other people as miserable as you possibly can.

[@JJ21210]

Sally was a manipulative liar who used people -- did you not pay attention? She wasn't treated horribly by the family until *after* she'd begun her campaign of bad behavior -- only the housekeeper was hostile to her from the start. And while I agree that the class divides in the UK are particularly potent and hateful, I don't see any evidence in this production of class inequality as a motivator for Sally.

[@ekcentrik]

That whole issue about holding onto the house is about class. The daughter looked down on the less fortunate. She said the old "let them eat cake" line" about the politics of "envy". Given the state of the U.S. today, I had immediate contempt for her.

Police read someone his/her rights before any official questioning of that person. In this case, the woman blurted out her confession in less formal situation; she wasn't in police custody and therefore the police weren't required to read her her rights. (A confession under those circumstances might be inadmissible in court -- I don't know -- but that's immaterial in this case, because she was prepared to take responsibility for her actions.)
