I've wondered if a mini-series format would be better. It certainly worked well for Pride and Prejudice, none of the movies can match the 6 hr miniseries. Although I think the 3 book format does have some significance to the structure of the story, I think it could be dispensed with. The problem is where else to break it up. I don't think 6 smaller movies would really work, as the books don't seem to have the right episodic quality to them. I don't know, but perhaps a division into a mini-series would work. Someday...
