Release Date: 1987
Director: John Madden (BBC/Granada) Cast: Trevor Eve, Jon Croft, Edmund Kente, Fabia Drake, Helen Masters, Fulton Mackay, Carmel McSharry Duration: 90 mins Description: An excellent adaptation of Elizabeth Taylor's disturbing novel. Trevor Eve is particularly haunting as the mentally unbalanced young poser, who draws the reluctant Joanna McCallum into a doomed relationship. The remarkable restraint and sympathy with which the unhappy characters are portrayed, and the gradual build-up of the ugly tension which underscores their lives in the pretty little English town, creates a drama that's both gripping and genuinely sad..
Locations:
•Fairford, Gloucestershire. Scenes were shot in Fairford in August 1986 with the Bull Hotel becoming the Griffin Hotel and shops converted with period displays. |
