Downton Abbey: The Official Film Companion

Lovely book

Beautifully done volume! It was filled with excellent photos and fascinating background articles about making of the movie, each principal character and individual actors. Biographies of the British royals who were featured in the film were a welcome addition. Fascinating reading. Couldn’t put the book down and read it cover to cover in almost one sitting.

I purchased the other companion book that covered the Downton Abbey series from beginning to end. So it was natural that I was eager to read the movie book, too. So glad I did -- fabulous behind the scene stories, information as to what was done and why, details on the clothes, hair and jewelry for the female characters. I found this book definitely set the stage for the movie -- glad I read the book before seeing the movie. I doubt any reader will be disappointed. Nice!

I bought two copies of this book, one to keep and one to give to a friend who was as enthralled by the Downton Abbey series as I was. Spoiler alert: don't read the book until you've seen the movie! It's okay to look at the gorgeous pictures, but keep your eyes away from the text unless you like knowing the identity of the murderer at the beginning of a mystery novel. That said, this book is a treasure to be returned to time and again, especially if you already own all of the series on DVD and plan on watching it over and over. When the movie becomes available for purchase, you can just add it to your collection like the cherry on top of an old-fashioned sundae.

I really liked the in depth description of the motives and thoughts of each main character. I purchased the book for information about the set up of the movie, the photos ( they did not disappoint - especially the originals of the royal family) and to fill in the time we all he’d to wait until the movie came out. I enjoyed the book very much.

This item came quickly, was a good deal and great quality.

Commerates the movie, not the series. Useful information

An excellent companion to the movie. It also gives you perspective on the many relationships among the characters in the movie and their history that go back to 1911 from Season 1 to 1925 which is the beginning of Season 6. The book has many informative facts about the characters that with the speed of the multiple scenes and the subplots one might miss including the actors that play them. An excellent resource with beautiful photos.

Un bellissimo libro, nonchè uno splendido album fotografico, una narrazione del penultimo (all'epoca ultimo) film di Downtown Abbey, ricco di aneddoti e relative foto del backstage. Una vera chicca per gli appassionati e per chi vuole cominciare ad appassionarsi

Cet ouvrage est une belle conclusion pour la série du même titre et rappelle les grands moments du film : les fans de Downton Abbey sont comblés !

This was a perfect campanion to the movie. A lot of information in a very nice book, beautiful photographs, well worth the money and a lovely keepsake!!

Definitely worth buying this lovely book on Downton Abbey. I still watch re- runs of Downton, best programme ever, and so I was thrilled with this book. I sent for a used copy and it's fine. Recommend

another beautiful book with lots for the fan to enjoy. All about the characters and the team behind the camera who bring them alive
