Movie Description
THE BARCHESTER CHRONICLES: Starring Donald Pleasance (HALLOWEEN) as Rev. Septimus Harding and Nigel Hawthorne (LITTLE WOMEN) as Archdeacon Grantly, THE BARCHESTER CHRONICLES is the tale of behind-the-scenes troubles in an English church, based on the novels by the Victorian great Anthony Trollope.
DANIEL DERONDA: The title character of this Masterpiece Theater presentation--based on George Eliot's novel--is the illegitimate son of a wealthy British aristocrat. With a secret past and an unlimited supply of cash, he turns to gambling. At the roulette table, he meets Gwendolyn, a beautiful woman in desperate need of money, and a romance blossoms. Daniel, however, is already involved in a passionate relationship with a Jewish singer.
JANE EYRE: Charlotte Bronze's novel is adeptly portrayed in this BBC production about the brave orphan who overcomes adversity through independence and finds happiness with Mr. Rochester. Considered to be among the best versions of this famous story.
THE LOST PRINCE: This tender drama tells the true story of Prince John, the offspring of George V and Queen Mary. A good-natured child, John unfortunately suffers from epilepsy and an inability to learn easily. When he has difficulty coping with his troublesome situation, his parents send him to live in a remote farm house to make sure he doesn't tarnish the family name.
MIDDLEMARCH: This BBC/WGBH production dramatizes George Eliot's saga of English society at the verge of the Industrial Revolution. Dorothea Brooke falls in love with the young cousin of her deceased husband, but she can't marry him without forfeiting her inheritance. A 6-part series.
A ROOM WITH A VIEW: E.M. Forster's 1908 novel, A ROOM WITH A VIEW, is adapted for the screen by director James Ivory in this beautifully lighthearted tale of Edwardian manners. Helena Bonham Carter stars as a young Englishwoman, Lucy Honeychurch. When Lucy and her spinster chaperone, Charlotte Bartlett (Maggie Smith), travel to Florence, they meet an unconventional Englishman, Mr. Emerson (Denholm Elliott), and his romantically unhappy son, George (Julian Sands). After George makes the grievous mistake of kissing Lucy during a picnic in the Florentine hills, Charlotte rushes her back to England. Safely home, Lucy becomes engaged to the stiff, very proper Cecil (Daniel Day-Lewis), but after finding out the Emersons have moved close by, Lucy has a hard time ignoring her attraction to the unsuitable George.
WIVES AND DAUGHTERS: Mobil Masterpiece Theatre presents Elizabeth Gaskell's timeless tale of romance in 19th-century England. WIVES AND DAUGHTERS is the humorous and often heart-wrenching story of two single women, one sweet and one sexy, searching for love and finding nothing but trouble when the man destined for one falls for her sultry best friend instead.
