Subj: Educating Rita

I saw Educating Rita after having seen the play in London. I was 
pleasantly surprised that the film was more faithfull to the play than 
I had expected - apart from the ending. The end of the film descended 
into mush, wheras the end of the play stayed on the more powerful 
exposition of education/choice. The movie did not make the statement 
that 'education is not ideal for many people'.

The film is still well worth seeing, Julie Walters is as good as 
expected and Michael Caine proved that given a vehicle he can act. 
Julie Walters is far better known in England than in the US. She has 
done a number of TV shows with Victoria Wood, with any luck PBS might 
pick up some of them.
