i friend loaned me a dvd of a re-release of an old 'bbc' production of honore' de balzac's 1846 novel "cousin bette" starring a very young and fetching dame helen mirren.
it was produced sometime in the early seventies so it totally has the same 1970 does 1840 look that the 1840 time period has on d.s..the fashions,hair and make-up styles are very similar.
it was also filmed in a similar way.almost like a filmed version of a live play.
i'm imagining clarice blackburn as the spinsterish bette and lara parker as the coquettish valerie.
anyways if anyone catches a copy of this it's quite an entertaining little mini-series in the 'masterpiece theater' tradition.
