Title: Melodramatic
Review: The melodramatic plot takes one barely believable twist after another (she rebuffs a wealthy man because she's of a different class, she inherits a fortune, she tries to hide it even though she'll lose the love of her life over it, she is falsely accused of a crime and denies her love over that also, all the rich and handsome young men are attracted to her, she wins the steeplechase even though her horse has never jumped over water before). It's hard to believe the reputable Louisa May Alcott penned this story. And why did they pick a strikingly handsome man to play the part of a man who is several times referred to as unattractive? Overall the movie doesn't ring true. P.S. I don't know why this is in the British cinema category. There's nothing British about it.
