Felicity Jones (an English Scarlet Johannson) plays Ellen Ternan, the mistress of a married Dickens in the 1850s. A well done period piece with Ralph Fiennes playing Dickens, as well as directing. Felicity Jones is first rate.

A favourite from the BBC an excellent production in six parts of Charles Dickens 1842 story first published in monthly installments Martin Chuzzlewit (1994) The novel and adaptation a satire on selfishness with a satirical take on the United States, included are a number of wonderful characterizations notably the villain Seth Pecksniff... A tremendous performance from Paul Scofield as Old Martin Chuzzlewit  |

I hadn't heard of it, but will certainly watch it. I recently ran across a YouTube video, about Catherine Dickens, and how a promising marriage, between two accomplished people, ultimately fell apart. Of course, Charles Dickens affair, leading to divorce, is prominently featured It's strangely illustrated in modern cartoon mode. That's a bit distracting, but the story is interesting. It runs about 10 minutes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhbQo83IqmI
