Storyline
In the 1790s, the recently widowed and relatively young Lady Susan Vernon seeks a suitably wealthy match for her only daughter, Frederica, and a similarly wealthy husband for herself, in order to renew the state of her fortunes. After being unceremoniously turned out of the Manwaring estate due to her dalliance with the married Lord Manwaring, she and her unpaid companion head to Churchill, the country home of her brother-in-law.

“In a movie, you need good actors, whereas in a book, you don't, unless you have a really bad imagination.”
