A detective solving a #crime is something quite normal but a father? I always wanted to know, how Chesterton invented this idea. #litsyclassics @Bambolina_81

EllanaRose I'm likely remembering it badly, but when I was a kid I was in hospital for a few months and I really enjoyed this TV show about a crime solving father and nun. I wonder if it was related to the books? 6y
jillrhudy He was a devout Christian and based Father Brown on an actual priest, Rev. John O‘Connor. (edited) 6y

To be honest, I prefer reading by the beach to actually swimming in the ocean.

An extreme case of the film (or the show) being light years better than the book. Genius acting and rich visual language beats out plodding, two-dimensional narrative. The best stories by far are the ones playing Father Brown against the master French thief know as Flambeau. I had to bail on the anthology, but I'm currently bingeing on the BBC series on Netflix.
