Most people under 40 years old would not be familiar with the book and the David Lean’s 1965 film was now 50 years old, this would be a hard sell right from the start. The Director Des McAnuff said of the closing “I think we live in the age of parody, and I think there is a resistance to the epic love story, and it may have everything to do with the times we’re going through.”
