Under The Greenwood Tree

Title: Under The Greenwood Tree

Certificate: PG

Year: 2005

Director: Nicholas Laughland

Actors: Keely Haws
            James Murray
            Steve Pemberton
            Ben Miles

Summary: Based on a novel by Thoams Hardy.  Fancy Day, a well educated young woman from Exeter, comes as the new school mistress and to look after her sickly father who resides in a small country village.  She soon finds herself with two suiters and in love with another.

My Review: Begins slowly and is a ittle hard to get into at fist but improves in the second half.   The acting is saisfactory but the quality of the filming is poor.

Rating: 4/10 = slow.

Worht buying: I like period dram's but Thomas Hardy's heroines are fickle and I would not watch it more than once, so no.
