Thanks for commenting t...@Mo & MissBluestocking<br />Thanks for commenting to you both.<br />I think Nan's and Guy's story is one of the most romantic ever. Guess what, June... After seeing him in Sense and Sensibility as the best Willoughby ever, I didn't like Greg Wise with a moustache but after the first negative impression, getting involved in the story, I even liked him more as Guy.Maria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-89638053216807575722009-08-14T16:40:28.093+02:002009-08-14T16:40:28.093+02:00MissBluestocking:

I only got the DVD last year together with "The Forsytes saga" and I still hadn't had time to see them. Well, I haven't seen the Forsytes yet.<br />Anyhow, I LOVED watching it. It's a brilliant period drama. I haven't read anything by Edith Wharton so far nor seen the film taken from her The Age of Innocence.
