Miranda and Not Going Out writer Paul Kerensa makes an intriguing departure from his comedy writing, preparing this moving book in the style of DLT classic movie-based Lent Courses. A Beautiful Friendship is written with his wife, Zo Young.
It is designed to be studied by groups or individuals alongside the DVD of Casablanca, starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. The book includes leaders notes, timings for film clips, discussion-starters, reflections and prayers.
