I give this a one star having read Collins' novel. I can't believe they had the nerve to even call this "The Woman in White" and not "A New Take on the Woman in White" or something. If Collins were alive he'd litigate. I understood before watching that in order to fit a 500+ page novel into 2 hours they'd have to abridge greatly. However, what I was not expecting was that they'd COMPLETELY change the storyline!! I don't want to give anything away for the viewer or the reader but this is definitely NOT the Collins' story. And I don't mean slight changes in plot or leaving out a character. I mean fundamental changes in the structure of the story and the relationships between characters. The acting was OK but the despoilment of the novel ruined it for me within 30 minutes.
