Finished watching The Leper of St. Giles. Thankfully, quite faithful to the original. In my mind while reading the book, though, the bridge was much higher and the river much deeper, and the confrontation scene was set in a wider space toward dusk, with torches alight. I also seem to recall that there was a little boy that had gotten attached to Joscelyn and whom Joscelyn later adopted, which is how the book ended.

The only flaw I saw is a movie strategy that I have always found unconvincing: when a fugitive at large ducks from behind one prop to another and is, hilariously, not seen by anyone. Another one for a future Scary Movie.

Love the liberated abbess, who becomes a close friend of Brother Cadfael in later books. Also love that ring, that bejeweled locket, and that silverplated thurible!
