I caught this mini-series on PBS in the 80’s and I have never forgotten it. I have, in fact, longed to examine it again so considerable that for years I searched the internet for copies of it and hassled the people at Scarecrow Video. At last, I saw that it was available and snatched it up as soon as I could. Not only was I NOT disappointed with the demonstrate, I was even more intrigued and enchanted by the mystery and the wit and of course the lucious scenery of the Tuscan villa and surrounding landscape. Its a incredible blend of Italian and English sentiment and character. While waiting for this to be available I read the Mortimer original on which it was based and even that paled in comparison to this production!
I remember this mini-series on Masterpiece Theatre when it was shown in 1989. I loved the scenery (Italy/Tuscany) the terra cotta planter, the heavenly Tuscan architecture. Plus Sir John Gielgud was terrific as the “libidnous father” who weasles an invite to approach along with the family. There’s a place, and of course, there’s art: Piero della Francesco Renaissance artist, actually photographed in situ, and an almost documentary depiction of the Palia in Sienna. I studied in Tuscany some years later, and when I went to the town square in Sienna, I knew I’d seen it before (state of the Pallia) . The dialogue is absolutely masterful at times. The author is the same as the one that wrote “Rumpole of the Bailey”. (Sorry Senior moment–can’t remember it–John Somebody.) The father/Gielgud at one time exclaims, “Oh! This coffee is as icy as chastity!.”
