Tonight's TV: A Room With a View

A Room with a View: Sophie Molins/
IWC Media for MASTERPIECE

Now that we're done with Jane Austen, PBS' seminal Masterpiece Theatre focuses on other authors -- this week it's E.M. Forster's A Room With a View (check local listings for airtime), about another girl (Elaine Cassidy) who travels abroad, falls for a man (Rafe Spall) beneath her social status,  but doesn't realize it until she's ostensibly too late. Though sharply written by Andrew Davies (who also penned the illustrious Pride & Prejudice adaptation for BBC), the amended ending is neither necessary or worthy. Grade: B-
