8/10
Good telling of the Dumas classic

I've really enjoyed this Hallmark Hall of Fame adaptation. The cast is excellent (OK, Ben Kingsley as the older M Duval may seem a but young); but otherwise a young Colin Firth and a luminous Greta Scacchi look and play the lovers very well. Production values are great since it was shot entirely in France. And most important of all, Marguerite's consumption was underplayed -- NOT bathetic; so it plays very well. The script is also excellent. All in all, I enjoyed it more than the very ARTIFICICAL Greta Garbo and Robert Taylor version.
