A villainess concocts a nefarious plot around her stepdaughter and matches wits with an English gentleman adventurer. With Malcolm McDowell and Eileen Atkins. Michael Jayston stars as Mansel.
One of my favorite Dornford Yates’ novels. So pleased to see a film version, although, watching and listening to the start, am wondering how faithful to the book it will prove to be.
Caught this on BBC Four last night. Interesting and certainly watchable, and replete with ye olde 'derring-do' action sequences. Not the world's greatest fan of the ending though.
The Castle in the trees is Castell Coch in Glamorganshire, IMDB says interiors as well but none of those I've seen so far (I'm about 25 minutes in) are William Burges Castell Coch interiors.
