Marvelous cast. Elizabeth Spriggs is brilliant in every role she plays. Cheers!

Nothing can compare to British actors and storytelling in my humble opinion

God I love to see Lizzie Spriggs in anything. Fantastic actor, comedienne and singer.

Suzanne Bertish is gorgeous! Wow! The acting of Elizabeth Spriggs is phenomenal too!

Thank you so much for posting drama depicting gentler times as opposed to the propaganda times we are living through in 2020/2021...........

Tolstoy said a gentleman will pay his gambling debts even when he knows he has been cheated. Which makes Milly a very great lady indeed.

Excellent play and a stellar cast! BBC never lets me down ❤

This is one of the BBC Play of the Month that ran from 1965 to 1983. There were 121 episodes and more random ones are coming out on KZfaq 👍👍👍

Excellent, excellent. Such performances. Totally wonderful.

I love Milly character. Sweet kind heart.

This is beautiful, acting was so raw and real back then!

oh, thank you, so much. wonderful stories with fabulous casts.

An impressive condensation, does a good job of keeping the flavor of James. The wordplay is exquisite although it often doesn't feel natural; yet there are moments that stand out as poignantly true.

Impressively performed and presented in all respects!

Excellent -Thank-you . I love these costume dramas by the BBC.

Phenomenal Elizabeth Spriggs!.................sorely missed.

I kinda like the old-timey "mystery illness" trope where the beautiful heroine shows no symptoms at all until her dramatic but altogether decorative demise 😄

In the end their scheme gained them nothing. Wonderful production!

Thank you for uploading this.

I liked this film, thanks for posting.

That was very well done. Thank you so much for sharing it.

Excellent.Quality.Thankyou.

Candle light is so much softer.apart from small critism its great

Quality dramas. Don't get this kind of TV serials any more except for those Super Heroes rubbish being churned out on TV and in the cinemas...

Have only seen the HBC version so this is great--TY

Love it...ty fpr the share

thank u very much, - very good decores and costumes, and interesting characters

What a tangled web we weave.

Eleanor of Toledo by Bronzino at 1.21..............lovely.

Excellent. Thank you

"O WHAT TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE, WHEN FIRST WE PRACTISE TO DECEIVE " (Walter Scott)

Brilliant production!

Another British film good cast

The perils of passion.

so marvelous indeed! I EJOYED IT VERY MUCH!

This was magnificent.

Entertaining, even though such contrived rapidly delivered lines

This is one of the saddest stories that I know

I enjoyed this version but I already understood the plot and reasoning behind the characters. it might have helped to emphasise how Kate wanted money and had a plan to use her wealthy friend's illness and the fact she was also in love with Mr Denture to achieve her own ends. She encourages her fiance to romance and marry her friend so that following her death he inherits a fortune and then they can marry and enjoy it after. She starts out feeling in control but her own guilt and love for her friend begin to cause her anxiety and she knows this is the same for Mr Denture to whom she is secretly engaged. By the time her friend dies and selflessly gives everything to the two people she is closest to, their love has become tainted and guilt ridden. Kate has achieved her ambition but paid the price for a Pyrrhic victory. I'm not sure if this version clearly puts that across if you don't already know the story. Henry James has a beautiful writing style but you may prefer to read it in bite sized pieces because it is richly laden and dense in its imagery and context. The first few pages of "The Portrait of a Lady" feel like a feast of English literature and blow you away!

Its great but the unatural lights are very noticable

When you finish a movie having not understood anything clearly shows how English is truly not ones first language (THAT'S ME!), off I go to wikipedia

The only one who was an irresistible cad was Montgomery Clift in "Washington Square." Only it was called "The Heiress." Maybe Greg Wise in "Sense and Sensibility." The character who had "Sense" won!

Very interesting concept of intrigue . Time and time ? Can y spot Mrs Louder the Aunt from here to the Sense and Senseability of the 90s time moved but talent remains.👌🏾🌷👼🏿🙍🏽💕✌🏿🦹🏾‍♂️🧕🏿

Could someone please tell me what is that wonderful music at the opening credits? Is it Schumann?

Such intrigue...

Entertaining

Greed for money does anybody no good at all. So cheap with her scheme. Imagine goading your own sweetheart to pay attention to a rich dying woman to have a share in her wealth when she dies. Pawning somebody's feelings and emotions cost you a lot in the end.

John Castle is at least 10 years too old for this role. The whole thing is so stilted and artificial it destroys any plausibility in James' good story about real people.

do you have the series on BBC called "The Casserlys"? I believe it was in 1996

Mettete i sottotitoli grazie ❤❤❤❤❤

when someone steeps so low to go on a mission for money of course they won't go back to where they were. One is, coz they need the money two is they have lost their soul. Maybe they loved each other deeply to do such a heinous thing in order to be together, but when the other realizes the truth then there is no future for that couple. The guy is guilty they manipulated a sick woman and girl is heart broken coz her man fell in love with someone else.

❤❤❤

Made no sense to me....it was like : what really happened ? Vanity of vanities ....a chasing after the wind... Lord Mark was the only honest person but that foolish dying girl refused him ! What could be sadder than refusing someone's love and worse still - to love someone who doesn't love you, actually. It is better to be loved than to love.... that is proven thoroughly here.

Thus time period, had harsh realities for women. Glad I live in 2st century.

How could the doctor arrive from london to italy ? it will take at least 16 hours using a car I don't understand

Mr. Densham looks like jamie oliver

Great production & acting, but - and it's not its fault - doesn't even come close to James' novel. This to the novel WINGS is as a trailer is to an entire movie. (The last scene alone is a mutilating mash of two crucial & entirely separate episodes!)

馬毛ブラシはどちらのブランドでしょうか？

Thanks

No CC.....I am deaf! sorry

This is 'Acting by Numbers' --- maybe impossible to do justice to the power & originality of the novel..... I quote Millie directly 'I give & give --- stick to me as close as you like, & see if I don't -- but what I can't do is bargain'. 💔

More like a play

Glad I am doing something else as this is playing or I would have truly wasted my time. What is wrong with this lady. This movie is someone having a lot to say but yet nothing at all.

BBC Play of the Month..(S14E05).Wings of the Dove.1979.Elizabeth Spriggs. Betsy Blair. )_1h21_ .

I love the devious tricks here hehehe!

Got to hand it to the English, they can act... makes our Celebtards look even more inept

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

Mm rather silly and convoluted, I thought.

Evil mercenary clever crypt keeper wasp euros...thank you for documenting your perfidies

I didn't like it. The movie, this version, lacks so much of the background as told by Henry James in his book. It's like a rainstorm without the rain.

This movie doesn’t make sense

i have no understanding of what happened in this movie

I confused this for another, much better version of Henry James many layered story. I found this to be stilted and unnatural.

what in the world is wrong with that women....smh...shes so weird

The nasal speech delivery is most unpleasant.

Who wrote this $#%^?

English love affairs are complicated and evil sometimes. The guy was led to live a sick woman whom he felt with and his relationship with his love died, that evil in my eyes why would I attempt the man I love or a man attempt the woman he love, loving that dying girl was normal

Crappy acting

N

Boring....

Idiotic plot, not at all believable.

A very poor story line.

Wierd costumes. Doesn't make sense at all.

Wasted 1hr 20mins. Couldn't understand the plot from start to finish. Very disappointing

Bla Bla Bla, non stop, about nothing........
