Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This British version of Lorna Doone is one of the more rewarding film adaptations of the venerable R. D. Blackmore novel. The plot remains as ever: Lorna (Polly Walker), a feisty 17th century Scots lass, falls in love with a much-despised landowner (Sean Bean). Lorna's father, a notorious brigand, foments a peasant rebellion against her lover. It turns out of course, that Lorna is actually a high-born heiress, kidnapped in infancy. Billie Whitelaw and Rachel Kempson costar in this made-for-television costume epic. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Based on the book by R. D. Blackmore.
Bonus features: cast filmographies; R.D. Blackmore biography.
Clive Owen, Polly Walker, Sean Bean.
Originally broadcast as a made-for-TV film in 1990.
R. D. Blackmore's classic tale of forbidden love, revenge, and adventure in lawless 17th century England is one of the greatest love stories ever told. Lavish costumes, dazzling scenery, and a stellar supporting cast round out this splendid version.
