Made-for-television film adaptation of LP Hartley's novel of the same name about forbidden love in 1900, previously filmed in 1971 with Julie Christie and Alan Bates as the two lovers. After the death of his father, Leo [Jack Hollington] is taken in by the wealthy family of his friend Marcus Maudsley [Samuel Joslin]. Marcus' older sister Marian [Joanna Vanderham] is destined to marry Hugh Trimingham [Stephen Campbell], a Boer War veteran with a disfigured face, but employs Leo as an intermediary between her and the handsome farmhand Ted Burgess [Ben Batt], whom she truly loves. In doing so, she puts Leo in a difficult position, especially when Marian's mother [Lesley Manville] begins to grow suspicious. Jim Broadbent and Vanessa Redgrave appear briefly as the old Leo and Marian in this unsurprising but solidly acted and well-cared-for production.
