I was at the library the other day. Our library has a good selection of videos and DVDs.
I don't remember why, but I just decided to search to see if any of our local libraries had any movies or television shows featuring Chesterton or Chesterton stories.
I discovered my library had The Detective. The British title for the film was Father Brown.
What a find. Alec Guinness as Father Brown. Peter Finch as Flambeau.
Well written, well acted.I wonder what other Chesterton film treasures are out there.

Have you seen this? Pretty good. Turned my 10 yr-old daughter on to reading Fr. Brown.
I didn't even know that DVD set existed! You have just made me a happy man, poorer as my paycheck will go to yet more Chesterton; happy nonetheless.
