After we had done "A Room With a View" and "Maurice," she urged us to think about "Howards End" as another candidate for adaptation.ĭid the book pose any particular problems as a subject for film adaptation? It was a wonderful book and all, but it wasn't something I'd thought about for years and years before we made it.īut our writer, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala-it was very much in her mind. It wasn't something that I had wanted to do for a long, long time.
How many years had you been thinking about doing a film version of the novel? A length like that doesn't always bode well. It's a long film, two hours and twenty minutes. we hoped for that, you know! We had certainly been successful with the other two Forster films we'd done, " Maurice" and " A Room with a View." We thought people would like this one and respond to it.
