Downton Abbey – the Movie

Several years ago (January 29, 2015) I shared some thoughts about the Downton Abbey TV series.  Then I suggested that in addition to the six seasons of entertaining plot set in Edwardian and Georgina times, one of its attraction was an experience of nostalgia – a sentimental longing for and reassurance of past times.
