Her employers, Mr. and Mrs. Niven, are out and she has the rare chance to spend quality time with her secret lover.

But events that neither can foresee will change the course of Jane’s life forever.
“It’s a richly detailed mosaic of a movie which pays as much attention to emotional authenticity as it does to the story itself.”~Wendy Ide, Screen Daily
Average rating
(Good Enough). Showing 1-2 of 2 member reviews.
2 stars (Good Try) The Wardrobe Department was not needed for every second scene. ~Tubbs
4 stars (Very Good) Great screenplay, acting & camerawork. Stunning lighting. A little bit Downton-ish, but fresher, more meaty, adventurous & complex. The great Glenda Jackson appropriately book-ended a moving film. ~Sandy
