Merchant Ivory Productions, The Criterion Collection, and Home Vision Entertainment are proud to present The Merchant Ivory Collection

This entertaining story from a delicious early novel by Henry James takes place in a New England Arcadia that stands for everything beautiful, pure and good. Into this Eden come a sophisticated European brother and sister who turn up unexpectedly on the doorstep of their staid American cousins, the Wentworths. The fortune-hunting Eugenia (Lee Remick) and her high-spirited brother Felix (Tim Woodward) turn this Puritan world upside down. The film concludes with three betrothals, like a Mozart opera. But Eugenia has been too clever, and must return to Europe as empty-handed as she came.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars The life in 19th century massachussets.......2007-01-09

Excellent descrition of the life in high class,very conservative and religious America late in the 19th century. As most of Ivory pictures it has beatiful settings and great views of nature and lifestyle of the upper very conservative class in North east coast America,however still naive to the european royalty or impostors.

2 out of 5 stars Boring.......2005-05-18

I found this movie a waste of time. It really was a long 90 minutes. I suppose if I had liked or even known the actors I might have found some enjoyment in it, but I only knew the one and she is not one of my favorites. The music was very nice, with old hymns used in the score and played on period instruments. This movie really put me to sleep. I found the script dull and lifeless. I do love period pieces, but this one was sorely lacking compared to the BBC productions. I would recommend that you borrow this from your library before buying it (try an inter-library loan if your library doesn't have it). I would hate to see someone spend over $20 on this and find that it was a waste of time to watch it.
