It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

I found this English Romance heartwarming and exciting. When this beautiful country girl named Megan comes to the aid of a young barrister who injured his ankle while passing through her homeland with a friend, she falls in love. This story reminds me of the innocence of country life and the social pressures of the olden times for a girl to marry and not have a career. Megan is a gal who's heart runs free and wants to be cared for by a loving gentleman. The suspense builds when there's competition between two lads and who does she choose? This story makes me yearn for the best for Megan and her love. This story keeps you on the edge of your seat as to how this couple winds up.

I watched this movie way back in 1995 on Star Movies. It was not recommended and I was just changing channels when I stumbled upon this movie (luckily). It had just started so I thought I'll just check the start and I couldn't change the channel till it was over. A brilliant movie. The name of the movie struck me. I have a few friends who are movie buffs and I had told them about this movie but they had not seen this movie, I thought it was odd that only I liked this movie. But now after reading all the reviews, I'm glad that there are so many people who appreciate this movie. It really is a movie many have not seen.What can I say about the movie, it's mesmerizing. Strongly recommended. Just go for it, worth an experience.

This film, though little noticed by the general moviegoing public, is a beautifully photographed and acted masterpiece. It is a bittersweet tale of lost love, based on a short story ("The Apple Tree") by John Galsworthy. Most of the film, in writer Penelope Mortimer's skillful adaptation, is presented as a flashback -- sandwiched by an introduction and coda that are devastatingly poignant. Piers Haggard directs with a lighthanded touch that makes the characters seem utterly real. I cannot recommend this film too highly. Every time I view it, I am overwhelmed anew by its intense vision of human nature. A gem!
