Trivia
Inexplicably this version of the Wilder novel is set in 1774, not 1714, as the novel and 2004 version are. See more »Soundtracks

Really stagy, over acted, over lit, over music'd with almost constant strings. Could have been so much better. Almost painful to watch and I usually love old B&W movies. The combination of the bad lighting and unbelievably almost non-existent creativity in choosing camera positions make whatever abilities the actors had virtually invisible.
