It works sometimes (well obviously not with real history but with
novels).   I thought I'd hate the Americanised (cockin' spell check
wants to Americanise that spelling) version of High Fidelity because
London and the other women being American is such a part of the novel.
In fact it's a very English story but John Cusack rocked that role and
you'd struggle to imagine an English version which the execs would have
insisted had Hugh fucking Grant in the lead role would have been as
good.
