Title: story of an abusive marriage
Product review: Anytime a movie is made from a classic, the people who have no taste of their own but want to appear as if they do, praise the movie to the skies.The fact is that at one-and-a-half hours, this could have been an okay, three-star movie. At two-and-a-half hours, it is excruciating, like sitting through a sermon that drones on and on, making the same point over and over again.In spite of the suggestion of grand houses, this gives every indication of being a very low-budget production: close-ups of the same few rooms, none of the sweep and pagentry of other period movies, minimal music, adequate but not great photography. The location shots of the moors (few in number) are the visual highlight of this WGBH effort.Bottom line: if you're still curious, talk your local library into getting it, then borrow it free.
