In 1880s England, Lily Whitmore (Cathy Sandford) is the heir to a crumbling factory, and she's determined to restore the business to its former glory. Unfortunately, the industrious Lily must instead turn her attention to the conniving Lionel Filmore (Nathaniel Parker), a young member of the upper class who's facing poverty because of his father's foolish spending. Hoping to marry into the Whitmore wealth, Lionel resolves to wed Lily's sister, even if he has to murder his way into the family.

Audience Member Unpredictably, this is one of my favourite films and favourite books. I originally watched the film because Samantha Bond is in it and she is one of my favourite actresses but I immediately fell in love with it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Bit of romantic froth. The plot os predictable. A few nice performances, but not worth much as a drama or a historical piece. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
