A Gentleman in Moscow: TV Show Versus the Book
Show Notes

Lisa discusses A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles and the new TV show, which was just released on Paramount Plus. There will be spoilers for the first TV episode.

Lisa discussed the book in 2022 with author Joshua Berkov and if you would like to listen to that episode, it is here.

The New York Times discusses how Ewan McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead first filmed together back in 2017. They are now married, and Ewan plays the Count, and Mary Elizabeth plays the Count’s girlfriend. 

The Los Angeles Times addresses how this almost fanciful fairytale is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. The Guardian delves into how this TV show combines the serious and goofy aspects of the Count.
