Merchant-Ivory's "The Bostonians" [1984]
IMDb only gave it a 3 star.
Rotten Tomatoes gave it 4.5 stars.
Am a member of IMDb and am surprised that my fellow members didn't give it a higher rating. I gave it a 4.
I thought Christopher Reeve as Southern lawyer & rebel Basil Ransom dominated the movie. Linda Hunt as Dr Mary Prance was superb. Over the years I have come across many interesting literary characters. Dr Prance is one of the most fascinating characters I have read about. Another novel or perhaps a series of short stories should have been written about her. And then there's Vanessa Redgrave - awesome as ever. Great costuming, scenery, and background music.
