That guy playing Valentin de Bellegarde is the incredibly talented Andrew Scott at about 21 or 22 y/o - he’s been hot for decades. 😍

Beautiful love and he will protect her the rest of her life. What she must have gone through. So pretty when she smiles. Love Mathew Bodine in this. Pretty good acting by him, the lead actress and her mother. He is so sweet with her.

Thank you so much for making this video for us. Now I just hope it has a decent ending.

When he ditched the enchanting and ravishingly beautiful blonde painter lass for the droll and homely " Clair the widow" I was over this entire production.

What a weird family full of dark secrets- why would he want to involve himself is beyond me

[@LakeConstan]

Not one scene or line of dialogue in this episode comes from Henry James. The "unspeakable acts" nonsense is pure invention. Claire's reluctance has nothing to do with physical aversion.

Good show

So where were all these aristocrats when Mme. La Guillotine was doing her thing?

[@Brembelia]

The French Revolution took place around 1789. Judging from the clothing in this movie, I'd say the time period for this movie is roughly one hundred years later.

@@Brembelia The movie is set in 1868, the time period 79 years prior to The French Revolution.

@@dillardjenkins5118 I thiink you mean subsequent to, not prior to the Revolution

Sorry, but no man would fight over that plain cow.

[@carmenwilley8858]

Cow? Troll

She is absolutely plain jane compared to the other actress.
