Last night we watched the first hour of A Street Cat Named Bob, and this ties in with yesterday's TOD. I loved the movie when I first saw it two years ago. Since then, I read the book, and while I think it's a wonderful and moving film about a recovering heroin addict's rescuing an injured alley cat who in turn rescues the addict, the book's account is loosely transferred to a screenplay, as though the screenwriter was given a brief synopsis of the book and then used his imagination to fill in the screenplay, retaining only the basic facts of the tale.
Luke Treadaway is really wonderful, and the recently deceased streetcat Bob plays himself. Joanna Froggatt, who played Anna Bates in Downton Abbey, plays his drug counselor.
