Movie #81 "No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency: Disc 1" was "most excellent" (as Ma would say). I loved all the books so I was so anxious to see the HBO series. Not having HBO, I waited until it was available from netflix, and I'm so glad I watched it, plus I made sure that Dave watched it the next a.m. and he loved it, too. Now the disc is with the Bigs! What do I like about it? The way Ma figures out her cases, her sidekick Mama Khutsi, her boyfriend garage man, her beautiful clothes, her ample weight, her beautiful smile, the music, and this is beautifully directed. And herein lies the problem. There might not be any more because both the director (Anthony Minghella) and producer (Sydney Pollack) died this year. But keeping fingers crossed that there are more.

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency: Season 1
(2008) NR
After her beloved father dies, the sassy Precious Ramotswe (Jill Scott) sells an inheritance of 180 cows to start a detective agency and becomes the first female sleuth in the history of Botswana. Co-starring Anika Noni Rose as Ramotswe's assistant and secretary, Mma Makutsi, this quirky whodunit was adapted from Alexander McCall Smith's hit mystery novels. The film also marks the last directing credit for Anthony Minghella (English Patient).
