The premise sounds a little dry and unappealing but I'm glad I gave this one a chance, it was worth it !
Desperate times need desperate measures and this was about as desperate as could be ! It's hard to imagine what it was like back then, they were very different times with very different social etiquette and social structures but everyone knew their places whether they liked it or not. This often lead to tension which was very well portrayed in the film, most of which was not even mentioned but was clearly put across with top quality cast and acting, a deep understanding of the social etiquette of the time and through excellent direction !
Films as good as this are very few and becoming even fewer but in some ways that makes them even more special !
