This was from before any of this cast were runaway stars (with the exception of Sutherland who played a quieter part with much respect). I loved the music, the landscapes, the costumes, the acting, everything. While it has some slower parts they fit right into the period drama nicely. The build and the twists along with the great acting carried me right along with it. This is one of the romantic movies that remind you why there are so many romance books for sale on the market - to try to be as good as love story as this.
