TV Movie. Based on the novel by Jane Austen, the first version of which was written in 1798-1799; it was revised in 1816-1817.
Catherine is invited by a couple to live with them for some time in another town. She meets Henry, whose father invites her to stay in their castle for a while. Catherine is led to believe there is a family secret.
While superficially this is just a costume drama which through a well-woven web of human interactions manages to grab and keep the viewer's attention, one is tempted to construe a deeper meaning in it as a moral tale, stating that love of money is intrinsically murderous.
