"Scarlet and the Black, The" (1993) (mini)

Title: Scarlet and the Black, The
Released: 1993
Genre: Drama
Runtime: 80 min (3 episodes)
Country: UK
Language: English

Comments: Period Drama Perfect. Ben Bolt's direction of Scarlet and Black is a worthy effort that translates the period romanticism with relish. The French romantic novel is visually brought to life by actor Ewan McGregor as Julian Sorrel, a young man of ambition and robust desire. Set in the beautiful estate country side, with stunning period costumes, and the pace that makes BBC drama the best, Scarlet and Black should be made more available for public consumption.
