BBCs "Daphne" (2007)

No Lisa Ray this time, but I still come bearing gifts :D

srs bsns:  Daphne, a drama staring Geraldine Somerville (Gosford Park, Harry Potter), Elizabeth McGovern (Freezing), and Janet McTeer (Five Days, Tumbleweeds) brings the secret love life of this renowned storyteller to the small screen. Based on the acclaimed biography by Margaret Forster, Daphne charts the story of du Maurier's unrequited passion and shows how Daphne's inner struggles with her sexuality informed the writing of her compelling stories. The 90-minute drama focuses on the most emotionally fraught yet creatively fertile period of the author's life – the years between the Rebecca trial and the writing of her short story The Birds.

Deep Thoughts by Janine:  Movie good.  Captivating.  Watch.  Elizabeth McGovern UNF!
